3 Chapter 6 The Jedi Order

4 The Jedi Order has existed in parallel to the Galactic Republic for over twenty-five thousand years. They have acted as guardians of peace throughout the galaxy, settling disputes and providing the kind of sage advice that can only be given through pure benevolence and deep understanding of the Force. During the restructuring of the Galactic Republic following the New Sith War a thousand years ago, the Jedi Order willingly placed itself under the appointment to the office of the Supreme Chancellor. By the request of the leader of the galactic government, the Jedi served as ambassadors, diplomats and intermediaries to the various governing bodies of the Republic and its allies. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Supreme Chancellor appointed the Jedi to act as generals and commanders to the Grand Army of the Republic. During this sinister time, many Jedi from Master to Padawan fought and lost their lives. The following is a chronicling of some of the most notable participants. The Jedi Council During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council was forced to take on the roles of military commanders and strategists, serving under the Senate and the Supreme Chancellor. While most of the Jedi Council served as High Generals in the Grand Army of the Republic, directing its ten Systems Armies, they also saw the Clone Wars from the front lines while leading smaller contingents into battle. These are the members of the Jedi Council who fought during the Clone Wars. Adi Gallia Adi Gallia was a sylphlike, dark-skinned, Corellian-born human who was seated on the Jedi Council for a number of years preceding the Clone Wars. Despite the Jedi taboo of attachment, Gallia maintained a semblance of a relationship with her diplomatparents and wore a tholoth headdress, traditional to her native Corellia. At a very young age, she was recognized for her innate sensitivity to the Force and was brought before the Jedi Council by her parents to begin her training. She inherited her parents talent for diplomacy and was a valuable asset to the Jedi Order in 4

5 5 Adi Gallia LucasFilm LTD. maintaining Jedi-Senate relations using her well-honed intuition and researching skills. Adi was a skilled duelist and pilot mastering the unorthodox Shien lightsaber style. She also led many space battles prior to and during the Clone Wars under the callsign Shooting Star. Her profound understanding of galactic affairs and vast network of contacts and informants throughout the galaxy made her a commanding and powerful asset to the Jedi. It was for these reasons that she was appointed a short-term seat on the Jedi Council over twenty years before the Clone Wars began. Adi Gallia was particularly close to fellow council member Even Piell, who years ago rescued Gallia s parents from a Red laro terrorist attack on Piell s home planet of Lannik. Throughout the course of her career, Adi Gallia played a crucial role in several galactic events. Twenty-two years before the Clone Wars, she was hand-picked by then-senator Finnis Valorum to take part in the negotiations between the Stark Combine and the Republic in the Qotile system. When tensions at the table escalated into an attack on a senator, Gallia was ordered to protect Valorum by the fatally wounded Wookiee Jedi Master, Tyvokka. Adi escorted Valorum to safety, having witnessed the start of the Stark Hyperspace Wars. Adi Gallia trained at least two Padawan Learners during her tenure, the most notable of which was a human female named Siri Tachi. Gallia and Tachi, along with Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, were sent to the planet Kegan to establish diplomatic talks with the isolationist world while testing an infant for Force sensitivity twenty-one years before the Clone Wars. By convincing the planet s inhabitants to shake off the cruelty of the Benevolent Guides who controlled the planet, Gallia and her companions were able to convince Kegan to lift its self-imposed quarantine and join the Galactic Republic. One year later, Gallia and Tachi assisted Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi on a mission to the strip-mined world of Simpla-12. There they rescued Qui-Gon Jinn from the crazed scientist Jenna Zan Arbor and foiled her scheme to contaminate the planet s water supply. Eleven years later, Master Gallia s far-reaching contacts alerted her of strange and uncharacteristic activity by the Trade Federation in the Outer Rim Territories when the mega-corporation began purchasing droid starfighters en masse. Gallia informed Supreme Chancellor Valorum of these events, and when the disgruntled Neimoidians of the Trade Federation proceded with their plan, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi were immediately dispatched to force a settlement. In the months following the Battle of Naboo, Gallia was attached to a diplomatic mission sent to Malastare to establish peace talks between the Red Iaro terrorist group and Lannik government representatives. However, much to Adi s dismay, the entire conference was a set-up by the Red Iaro to assassinate the Lannik Royal family. Fortunately, Master Gallia was able to lend her martial prowess to foil the assassination attempt and help restore peace. Two years after the invasion of Naboo, Adi Gallia was assigned to investigate the murders of Jedi Knights J Mikel and Peerce with fellow Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi and A Sharad Hett. The situation turned into an all-out manhunt for the bounty hunter, Aurra Sing. Gallia and her companions tracked Sing down to the Kamdon system, however, the assassin laid a trap for the unsuspecting Jedi. Adi Gallia and the other Jedi nearly perished in the ambush, and Aurra Sing managed to elude capture. As tensions rose between the Republic and the Separatist movement sweeping the galaxy, Kuat Systems Engineering and

6 the Senate approached Adi Gallia and requested that she serve as one of several test pilots for their new Delta-7 Aethersprite starfighter. Jedi Padawan Aayla Secura and fellow council member Saesee Tiin also took part in the project. To field test the Jedi Starfighter as it came to be known, Adi Gallia was sent to make contact with the pirate Nym in the Karthakk system. She first met his contact, Reti, who had been traced by the Trade Federation, but the pair was able to escape into hyperspace and Adi was taken to Nym. Unfortunately, when she arrived, Nym was already embroiled in a brutal aerial battle on Maramere. Gallia saw an opportunity to put Nym in her debt and assisted him both in that batltle, and in freeing Captain Orsai from the Trade Federation prison, Space Station The group then returned to Maramere, bent on defending it from Captain Cavik Toth of Sabaoth Squadron and his Tri-hexalon missiles. Gallia performed admirably, saving the city from assault by multiple waves of Trihexalon missiles, shooting them all out of the sky in her nimble fighter. Afterward, Adi joined Nym and his crew on Nod Kartha, where the improvised squadron destroyed the Hex factory, putting a stop to the threat at its source. Following the successful campaign at Nod Kartha, Adi Gallia was summoned to Geonosis where Mace Windu was spearheading an offensive against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Reunited with her former Padawan, Siri Tachi, Adi Gallia supported the Republic efforts in Geonosian orbit. The two escorted the Acclamator-class assault ship Aken, carrying Jedi Master Yoda and his army safely to the planet s surface. Gallia then led several Jedi, assisted by Nym and the Maramere forces, in an intense battle against Sabaoth Squadron in orbit over Geonosis. Gallia and her companions succeeded in preventing the mercenary from carpet bombing the Republic staging areas below with deadly Hex missiles. Enraged and in denial over his apparent defeat, Toth flew out to meet Adi Gallia in his personal starfighter and challenged the Jedi Master to a dogfight. Gallia granted him his request and soundly defeated the Sabaoth leader. Toth s fleet fell moments after his demise. The combined efforts of Nym s forces, the Maramere resistance, and the Jedi led by Adi Gallia saved countless lives on Geonosis and assured victory for the Republic. Gallia vowed to watch over the Karthakk system in appreciation of Nym and the Maramere forces assistance. Adi Gallia continued to serve on the Jedi Council during the early stages of the Clone Wars. In the war s second month, she put her piloting skills to the test at the First Battle of Kamino alongside Aayla Secura, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tsui Choi. Although Republic forces in orbit were overwhelmed and starfighters led by the legendary Mon Calamari tactician Merai managed to reach Tipoca City, the Republic was successful in defending the Kamino cloning facility. By the fourth month of the Clone Wars, space pirates had grown bold in raiding primary shipping lanes, convinced the Republic would be unable to spare resources to combat them during the epic struggle. Adi s time with Nym provided her invaluable knowledge on the inner workings of pirate bands, making her the logical choice to assist in a campaign against them. First, Gallia supported Jedi Master Plo Koon in a mission to rescue Alderaanian Senator Bail Organa from a pirate assault. Later that month, she lent fighter support to Ki-Adi Mundi and Anakin Skywalker, who were rooting out pirates on the Ison Corridor near Varonat. As Mundi and Skywalker raced to Riflor to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and clonetrooper Alpha-17, Gallia stayed behind to beat back the pirate fleet. Gallia spent much of the remainder of the war moving from battle to battle. In the seventh month of the war, she led a successful campaign at Agamar. In the twentieth month of the war, Gallia embarked on a logistics mission to Alderaan suspected of being targeted by the enemy. Under the command of Jedi Master Ph ton, they escorted a critical supply delivery to the peaceful world. The Trade Federation had a small contingent of warships in the system, but not enough to stage a full-scale invasion on Alderaan. Gallia and her companions beat back squadrons of droid starfighters to allow the convoy of AA-9 freighters to complete their mission. Five months before the war came to a close, Adi Gallia was sent as part of a task force to the graveyard world of Boz Pity. Masters Adi Gallia and Soon Bayts, along with their armies, were sent in a first wave to combat the Confederate forces discovered on the planet. Gallia and Bayts located and confronted General Grievous, but the pair was no match for Confederate commander. Bayts was slain and Gallia was forced to retreat. Regrouping with Alpha-17 s squad seven, Gallia pursued Grievous. After dispatching 6

7 7 several of the general s MagnaGuards, Adi Gallia confronted the Kaleesh general, but was again outmatched. Unfortunately, the Jedi master was caught off guard as Grievous locked her in a stranglehold with one pair of arms, and stabbed her through the chest using lightsabers with a second set of arms.

Kolar showed impressive martial technique, and was among the survivors of the arena battle. His Padawan, Tan Yuster, was not so fortunate, and was killed during the conflict. Kolar was appointed to the Jedi Council following the death of Eeth Koth in the latter half of the first year of the Clone Wars. Though he lacked a mind for diplomacy, Kolar was coveted for his cool composure, unwavering dedication to the Jedi Order, and his strong skills in combat. When the Clone Wars began, Kolar honor and loyalty-bound eagerly accepted a general s commission in the Grand Army of the Republic. Agen Kolar s combat prowess ushered him to the front lines of Brentaal IV in the fifth month of the Clone Wars. Brentaal IV, a key hyperspace crossroads at the edge of the Core Worlds, had been overtaken by the Warlord Shogar Tok. Agen Kolar and his army were assigned to a joint task force, along with Jedi Masters Plo Koon, Shaak Ti and Shon Kon Ray, to retake Brentaal IV from the Separatists. Intelligence reports had indicated that the tower emplacements and shields for the surface weaponry were offline, facilitating a ground assault. This was a gross error,

8 Agen Kolar LucasFilm LTD. however, and nearly a quarter of the task force was wiped out in the initial landing. Agen Kolar had been assigned to fight on the northern face of the main fortress. Although his forces were taking heavy losses, he was much more successful than Shaak Ti, who had lost her entire contingent and taken refuge in a nearby prison. However, Kolar was soon contacted to help facilitate Shaak Ti s secret infiltration of Tok s fortress, calling for him to fight on against insurmountable odds at the Fortresses front gate. Kolar was eventually overrun and captured, then horribly tortured and interrogated by Tok. Thanks to Kolar s great sacrifice and effort, Shaak Ti s plan succeeded, and Brentaal was reclaimed by the republic. While his army was being replenished from the losses at Brentaal IV, Kolar was sent to Nar Shaddaa by the Jedi Council. He was tasked with detaining Quilan Vos, a renegade Jedi, who had provided the false intelligence regarding Brentaal IV and was attempting to sell secret communication codes used by the Republic to the Confederacy. Using information divulged by a Chadra-fan informant named Tookarti, Agen Kolar managed to locate Vos and interrupted his business deal with a Neimoidian from the Trade Federation. Although Vos insisted he was acting on orders of the Jedi Council, Kolar had his orders bring Vos before the Council, by force if necessary. With the help of Separatist agent, Khaleen Hentz, Vos was able to slip from Kolar s grasp. Agen pursued the rogue Jedi all over the vertical city before cornering him outside a cantina that Vos frequented. The patrons of the establishment came to Vos aid, forcing Agen Kolar into hand-to-hand combat with the mob while Vos once again made his escape. Before Agen could neutralize the crowd and give chase, Aruk the Hutt intervened and put an end to the conflict. Since Kolar was performing his mission outside of Republic space and wanted to avoid a diplomatic calamity, he agreed to leave Nar Shaddaa. Although Agen Kolar was unable to fulfill his mission completely, he had successfully managed to prevent the Republic comm codes from falling into enemy hands, and taken Separatist agent Khaleen Hentz into custody. With his army resupplied, he was recalled to Coruscant to rededicate his focus to the war effort. As the war dragged into its sixth month, following a debriefing on the battle of Parcellus Minor, Agen Kolar accompanied Jedi masters Kit Fisto, Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin to a facility known as the Rig, headquarters to the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter s Guild, located deep inside an asteroid field in the Stennes Node. The group began accepting bounties for Jedi and prominent senators of the Republic. Windu came aboard the space station to draw the attention of the Crimson Nova hunters, making it easier for Agen and the others to sneak onto the Rig undercover. Kolar infiltrated the station masquerading as a bounty hunter named Argent Kole, towing Kit Fisto as his prisoner. Saesee Tiin pretended to be a freighter pilot selling contraband. While Kit Fisto incited a revolt amongst the prisoners, and Saesee Tiin used explosives to disable the hangar bay, Agen managed to whip the 8

9 9 bounty hunters in the redemption centre into a frenzy, instigating a riot. With hunters rebelling, prisoners staging an uprising, and the hangar bay in shambles, Agen and his colleagues made their move. Saesee Tiin accompanied Agen Kolar to the Rig s control room to disable the escape pods in order to prevent the chapter s leader, a Farghul named Mika, from making a getaway. Mace Windu and Kit Fisto secured the Farghul to bring her back to Coruscant to face the consequences for her actions. The following month, Agen Kolar and his army were sent to provide assistance to the cordoned inhabitants of Korriban. Republic forces were quickly ambushed and overwhelmed. With Separatist reinforcements blockading Republic forces on the surface and cutting them off from outside assistance, Kolar s forces were decimated. Agen and a small number of his troops were able to escape the planet with their lives. In the thirtieth month of the war, Agen Kolar was tasked with defending Arkania from Separatist invasion. Together with Jedi Master Voolvif Monn and Jedi Knights Aayla Secura and Anakin Skywalker, Kolar did battle with the Confederate war droids on the chilling Arkanian tundra. Kolar and several of his companions were taken by surprise when the giant Techno Union crab droids ensnared them with a bubble worrt projector. Fortunately, Kolar was rescued by Skywalker, who went on to free the rest of his Jedi comrades and win the day. In the following month, Agen answered the call to join a Jedi task force intent on invading Boz Pity, where Dooku, Grievous and Ventress were discovered to be holed up. In one of the highest profile missions in the entire war, Agen Kolar, alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and several Jedi Council members, attempted to capture or kill the Separatist leadership to put an end to the war. Although the mission s objectives weren t achieved, the Republic used Boz Pity as a staging point for the Outer Rim Sieges that dominated the remainder of the Clone Wars. In the last days of the three year-long conflict, Kolar was on Coruscant when it was assaulted by Count Dooku and General Grievous. Agen Kolar participated in the naval battle using his Jedi starfighter. Following Kit Fisto, Pablo-Jill and Saesee Tiin, Kolar made a last-ditch attempt to save Chancellor Palpatine when he was kidnapped by General Grievous in the midst of the battle. However, Kolar and his companions were unable to prevent the Confederate general from reaching his flagship with his prisoner. When the identity of the Sith Lord was revealed as Chancellor Palpatine, Maste Kolar was approached by Mace Windu to aid in the arrest of the villain. Kolar, reuniting with Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Mace Windu made their way to the Chancellor s office to take the Sith into custody. Their enemy was far more powerful than they d anticipated, however, as the four were no match for Darth Sidious. Surprised by the Dark Lord s sheer speed and power, Agen was the first to fall to the Sith Master s crimson blade.

Anakin and his mother, Shmi, were originally owned by Gardulla the Hutt, but were lost to a Toydarian junk dealer named Watto when Anakin was still a toddler. Anakin grew up working in Watto s junk shop and showed a remarkable rapport with machines. By the age of nine he had built both a pod racer and a protocol droid named See-Threepio entirely from spare parts. Anakin also had a strong affinity for piloting and was the only known human that could successfully race pods. The most remarkable thing about Skywalker, however, was that Anakin was conceived without a father. Anakin s exceptional link with the Force was discovered when two Jedi entered Watto s Junkshop looking for hyperdrive parts after a narrow escape from the Trade Federation s blockade of Naboo. With nothing to trade, Anakin offered assistance to the stranded Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé Naberrie and their companions. Anakin was believed to be the Chosen One of an ancient Jedi prophecy, so Jinn trusted in the boy s abilities and Watto s greed to engineer a bet that depended on Anakin winning a pod race to save the queen and purchase his own freedom. When Anakin won the Boonta Eve Classic to provide the Jedi with the parts they needed, the young one was awarded his freedom as well. Unfortunately, Qui-Gon was unable to free Shmi Skywalker, and Anakin was separated from his mother to undergo Jedi training on Coruscant. Anakin s role in the Prophecy of the Chosen One was met with reluctance and skepticism by the members of the Jedi Council. While they refused to train Anakin, he was permitted to accompany Qui-Gon on a mission to escort Queen Amidala back to Naboo. The mission was Jinn s last, however, Jinn s death garnered enough sympathy within the Jedi High Council to overturn their previous ruling. Obi-Wan Kenobi, promoted to Jedi Knight after having defeated Jinn s assassin, took Skywalker as his Padawan Learner. Over the course of the next decade, the pair were sent on numerous missions as the Separatist movement began gathering momentum in the Rim. The majority of their missions focused on combating the mad scientist Jenna Zan Arbor and the Sith pretender Granta Omega. They were also caught in the conflict between the Republic Outland Regions Security Force and the inhabitants of Zonama Sekot, and took part in the early stages of the Outbound Flight project. Anakin s confidence with the Force increased tremendously over these years, as did his fear of loss, impatience and recklessness, despite his master s guidance. These negative feelings were amplified when Anakin was reunited with Senator Padmé Amidala. Anakin and Obi-Wan were assigned, at Chancellor Palpatine s request, to protect Padmé Amidala in the wake of an assassination attempt. Anakin and his master quickly foiled a second attempt, though would-be assassin Zam Wessel was silenced before she could be interrogated. The council decided to assign Anakin to Senator Amidala full-time on her homeworld of Naboo as his master followed a lead on the armored figure that silenced Wessel. LucasFilm LTD. Anakin Skywalker - Jedi Padawan 10

11 11 Anakin and Padmé chose to holiday at Varykino lake retreat, the perfect place to lay low as Kenobi tracked down his lead. The two immediately developed a close bond, which blossomed into deeper feelings. Anakin knew that what he felt could land him in serious trouble with the Jedi Order, but was unable to deny his passions. Unfortuantely for Skywalker, the violent visions of his mother back on Tatooine had grown in their intensity since coming to Naboo, and after voicing his concerns to Padmé, the pair set out to Tatooine. Anakin learned that his mother had been freed and married to a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars, but upon meeting his stepfather, learned his mother had been captured by Tusken Raiders. Unwilling to leave his mother to the savage Tuskens, Anakin set off to track her down through the Jundland Wastes, only arriving just in time for his mother to die in his arms. Anakin turned a corner at that moment, swearing to never again fail to save a life of someone he loved. Sadly, it was already too late for Shmi, and so he instead took revenge, slaughtering the men, women and children of the Tusken camp where she had been held. When Skywalker returned to the Lars homestead, he received an emergency call from his master on Geonosis. Anakin and Padmé, defying the Jedi Council, set out to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan, but were only successful in becoming captured themselves. Fortunately, the trio was freed by Jedi Master Mace Windu and two-hundred and eleven other Jedi who came to their rescue in the Geonosian arena. Unfortunately, most of the Jedi were slaughtered and only a handful remained when Jedi master Yoda arrived with the clone army, and the Battle of Geonosis began in earnest. Anakin and Obi-Wan pursued Count Dooku, hoping they could bring an end to the conflict before it spilled over into a galactic war. They cornered Dooku trying to escape in his secret hangar, but Anakin s recklessness was a liability. Anakin was almost immediately removed from the fight with a blast of Force lighting while Dooku wounded Kenobi with his lightsaber. Anakin, determined to defeat the former Jedi, took his master s lightsaber and attacked Dooku on his own with renewed vigor, and paid for it when Dooku severed his right arm at the elbow. The two Jedi lay defeated and left to die while Dooku dueled Master Yoda. Anakin Fallen Councilors Some members of the Jedi Council who saw the beginning of Palpatine s rise to power did not live to the days of the Clone Wars. The following is a short accounting of their fates. Yaddle: At 477 years old, Yaddle was a member of the same species as Master Yoda and sat on the Jedi Council during the Battle of Naboo. She was also a master of the rare art of Morichro. Three years before the Clone Wars began, Yaddle led a mission to Mawan with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to negotiate the instatement of the planet s new government. A crime lord named Granta Omega had other plans, however, and detonated an explosive device containing Dihexalon gas. Yaddle sacrificed herself by enveloping herself and the explosive in a Force-created bubble. Yaddle s body vanished into thin air, proving her true mastery of the Force. Yarael Poof: The Quermian Jedi Master sat on the Jedi Council during the conflict on Naboo and was a master of illusions. Shortly before the Clone Wars began, Poof died while protecting Coruscant from Annoo-Dat General Ashaar Khorda and his plan to destroy the Republic capital with the Seylott Force energy-storing artifact, the Infant of Shaa. and his master were used to Yoda s detriment when Dooku moved to crush them with a massive pylon, forcing the tiny Jedi Master to intervene, which allowed Dooku to escape. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Anakin was fitted with a prosthetic arm and wed to Padmé Amidala a fact he had to keep secret from everyone he knew, lest he be excommunicated from the Jedi Order. However, he had little time to spend with his new bride, as Kenobi and Skywalker were given commisions in the grand army of the Republic and expected to lead the clone troops into battle against the droid armies of the Confederacy. Anakin distinguished himself early in the war as one of the most versatile pilots in the Jedi Order; able to control anything from a speederbike to a Republic gunship. His skill was evident during his first campaign in the Clone Wars against the Separatists Dark Reaper Superweapon Project. The campaign began with the evacuation of Rhen Var and was followed up with the invasion

12 of Raxus Prime, where Anakin was captured by Count Dooku and taken to Alaris Prime testing ground for the newly recovered Force Harvester. After stealing a Confederate tank and infiltrating an enemy base, Anakin contacted the Republic for assistance, to which Obi-Wan and his army responded and rescued the wreckless Padawan. Then the pair traveled to Rhen Var where Anakin learned the secret to resist the effects of the Dark Reaper. When Republic intelligence discovered the Dark Reaper on Thule, Anakin was dispatched to destroy the Sith super weapon. With the guidance of the ancient Jedi spirit, Ulic Qel-droma, Anakin was able to complete his mission and disable the Dark Reaper piece by piece before finally destroying the Force Harvester. In the second month of the war, Anakin participated in the Battle of Kamino, flying starfighter support to defend the Republic s cloning facilities. Skywalker was forced to abandon his fighter to recover Master Kenobi when his master was shot down. No longer able to assist their fellow Jedi in the aerial battle, Anakin Skywalker leaves Jabiim Brian Ching and his master returned to Tipoca City to aid Master Shaak Ti and ARC Trooper Alpha-17 in defending the third generation of clone troopers, still in the embroyonic stage. The young Jedi was able to lend his considerable power with the Force to help his superiors collapse a tunnel, separating the oncoming battle droids from them and the clone embryos. After the Battle of Kamino, Anakin and Obi-Wan were sent with Jedi Master Glaive and his Padawan, Zule Xiss, to answer Queen Jamillia s call for assistance on Naboo. The Gungans lost contact with their colony on the moon of Ohma-D un and feared it was the work of disgruntled spice miners. Anakin and his companions traveled to the settlement and found a gruesome scene the Gungan colonists had been massacred by a biological agent. While investigating, Skywalker and his comrades were ambushed by the bounty hunter, Durge, and the Dark Jedi, Asajj Ventress, new commanders in the Separatist army. Anakin was ordered to abandon his master to foil the Separatist plot to launch the new bio-weapon at Naboo itself. Anakin completed his mission and returned with Alpha in time to help drive off Durge and Ventress. Toward the end of the war s second month, Anakin and Obi- Wan were assigned to lead Republic forces on the civil war-torn planet of Jabiim a mineral-rich Republic world. One week into the conflict, the Republic base of operations was wedged in a surprise attack during which General Kenobi was caught in a walker explosion and presumed dead. Anakin was left without a master, and bolstered the ranks of a group of orphaned apprentices known as the Padawan Pack who were stranded on Jabiim, unable to leave due to the planet s constant and intense storm surges. By the thirtieth day of conflict on Jabiim, Anakin and the other members of the Padawan Pack were assigned to a resupply convoy. Eighteen Jedi and nearly nine thousand clones had been killed since the fighting began and Jedi-General Leska wished to keep the Padawans away from the front lines. Unfortunately, Anakin and the supply convoy were ambushed by Alto Stratus and his Nimbus troops while on their way to Cobalt Station, pinned between a mine field and the onslaught of enemy soldiers. After a week of being pinned inside the station, Anakin and the Padawans were on their own. The incredible storms on Jabiim subsided enough for 12

13 13 the Confederacy to send reinforcements. The Padawans fortified their position to prepare for a suicidal last stand against Stratus reinforcements, hoping to buy Republic troops and Jabiimite loyalists enough time to be evacuated off-world. Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to lead the evacuation efforts after the death of Jedi-General Leska. Anakin reached the evacuation site at Monsoon Mesa well before the Confederate troops. However, several of the drop ships didn t survive the descent through the harsh electrical storms and there wasn t enough room to evacuate all the survivors. Anakin was left no choice but to leave Captain Gilmuun and his men behind. When Gilmuun attempted to commandeer the Republic gunships, Anakin lashed out, channeling the Dark Side of the Force, and choked the Captain into submission. Full of remorse, Anakin deserted the Jabiimi to their fate. While recuperating at the medical center on New Holstice in the fourth month of the war, Anakin was apprenticed to Jedi- General Ki-Adi Mundi and was under his command during the Battle of Aargonar alongside A Sharad Hett and Bultar Swan. Early in the battle, Anakin and Hett s gunship was shot down and they were cut off from their army. Without cohesive leadership, Hett s clonetroopers were mowed down by the Confederate droids. While Ki-Adi Mundi and Bultar Swan devised a plan to fall back into Vondar Canyon, Anakin and A Sharad Hett struggled to survive in the unforgiving desert. Skywalker and Hett snuck into an enemy outpost and stole an old, broken-down transport. Anakin worked feverishly to repair the speeder, but was discovered by enemy Yuzzems and attacked. Skywalker once again gave into his anger, slaughtering his combatants and nearly destroying A Sharad Hett as well. In his fit of rage, he revealed to Hett the circumstances surrounding his mother s death, and his bitterness towards Tusken Raiders. After regaining his composure, the two were able to briefly reconcile their differences. Using the power cells from A Sharad s lightsabers, Anakin was able to restore functionality to the ship and they hurried back to Ki-Adi Mundi and his forces. By summoning the power of the Force and goading a Gouka Dragon onto the battlefield, Anakin and Hett were able to decimate a significant portion of the enemy s forces and turn the tide of battle. Hett was true to his word, and did not report Anakin s transgressions to Master Ki-Adi Mundi, but Skywalker was unable to let go of his hatred and learn from the incident. Under the continued tutelage of Ki-Adi Mundi, Anakin was tasked with combating increased pirate activity along the Ison Corridor and Corellian Trade Spine. Amidst a battle near Varonat, Anakin sensed the presence of Obi-Wan Kenobi through the Force. After convincing Mundi of the validity of his intuition, Anakin and Ki-Adi Mundi arrived at the planet Riflor just in time to rescue Kenobi and Alpha, who had been surrounded by bounty hunters and mercenaries. Kenobi s rescue represented the end of Skywalker s apprenticeship with Master Mundi. While Master Obi-Wan recovered from his ordeal in captivity, Anakin was tasked with a solo mission to uncover information on a new type of Cortosis-armored battle droid being manufactured by the Confederacy. His mission took him to Tatooine to meet an informant, but he was instead captured by the Dark Witch Saato. While imprisoned, Anakin learned that large shipments of Cortosis were being ferried to Metalorn, but following his escape, Anakin was recalled to Coruscant where Count Dooku and his agent Trenox launched an attack on the Jedi Archives. Reunited with his master, Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to prevent the Separatists from completing their mission, but Obi-Wan was wounded in the exchange, leaving Anakin to continue his investigation alone. At Metalorn, Anakin was able to retrieve technical readouts on the new battle droids and destroy the factory. Skywalker caught the Techno Union Emir, Wat Tambor, trying to escape from the rubble and took him into custody. Before he could spirit Tambor back to Coruscant, however, Anakin was confronted by Count Dooku. The two crossed sabers as Dooku goaded Skywalker to unleash his anger, and in his rage, Skywalker cut down the Confederate leader. Anakin received heavy holomedia exposure for his capture of Tambor and the apparent demise of Count Dooku, dubbing him The Hero with No Fear. In the latter half of the war s fourth month, Anakin and Obi- Wan were sent to Muunilist headquarters to the Intergalactic Banking Clan and home planet to the Muun species. Commander Skywalker piloted his newly customized Jedi starfighter, the Azure Angel, and led a wing of clone trooper-piloted V-19 Torrent starfighters in an orbital assault of the Banking Clan fleet while General Kenobi commanded the ground assault on

14 the Muun capital city of Harnaidan. During the battle, Anakin encountered a talented Confederate starfighter ace and engaged the Ginivex-class starfighter in a dogfight that took them into the atmosphere and amongst the city buildings below. The enemy craft lured Skywalker into hyperspace where they emerged at the fourth moon of Yavin. Though Anakin was reinforced with a platoon of clone troopers upon landing, the assailant quickly dispatched them and destroyed both the Azure Angel, and the clone trooper transport. Anakin and the Dark Jedi, Asajj Ventress, became entangled in a fierce lightsaber duel over the sprawling ruins of the Massassi Temple. By giving into his anger, Anakin was able to defeat Ventress, throwing her down a chasm, presumably to her death. Commandeering Ventress starfighter, Anakin rendezvoused with his master on Muunilist before laying in a course to return to Coruscant. Unexpectedly, the Jedi stumbled across the Confederate Storm Fleet near the Llon Nebulae during their return trip. Skywalker cleverly lured the enemy ships into a nearby asteroid field, causing the destruction of two of the destroyers. This maneuver delayed the Storm Fleet s mission to occupy the planet Cyphar long enough for Kenobi and Skywalker to deliver the enemy battle group s mission plan to Coruscant. Anakin and Obi-Wan s streak of successes continued on fronts at Zaadja, Nivek and Terra Sool. In the final days of the war s fourth month, Anakin was sent on a mission with Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon to Praesitlyn when the Separatists invaded the planet and took control of a key Republic hyperwave relay station. Confederate Admiral Pors Tonith used the HoloNet station to broadcast a transmission to the Republic forces, coercing a hostage to implore the Republic to relent, or the prisoners would be executed. Forever reckless, Anakin led a series of skirmishes regardless of the warnings. Though Republic forces took heavy losses, Anakin s perseverance paid off and he was successful in rescuing the hostages as well as securing the communications center on Praesitlyn. Following his impressive victory at Praesitlyn, Anakin was summoned to Coruscant by the the High Council, where his Padawan braid was severed by Yoda, and he was recognized as a Jedi Knight. Six months after the war began; Anakin was promoted to the rank of General in the Grand Army, though he remained under Obi-Wan Kenobi s command within the Open Circle Fleet. In what would be the first of many extensive restructurings of the Republic armies, each Jedi was given a dedicated clone adjutant, specially trained to liase between Jedi officers and clone troopers. Anakin was assigned clone trooper Captain CC-7567, nicknamed Rex, while Kenobi was assigned Clone Marshal Commander CC-2224, also known as Cody. With the new chain of command in place, the Open Circle Fleet destroyed the Confederate droid factories on the planet of Farquar III. Though they were successful in their mission, Chadra-Fan Jedi General T Teknulp and his division were wiped out by Separatist defense screens while trying to reinforce Kenobi and Skywalker. Anakin bolstered offensives on numerous fronts while Obi- Wan went off on a solo mission to Dagro, but was shot down in enemy territory. General Skywalker sped to Dagro to once again come to his mentor s aid. Together, Anakin and Obi-Wan discovered a secret Confederate base hidden deep within a gorge. While combating Neimoidian soldiers and battle droids, the two located Obi-Wan s R3 unit that had been stolen from the wreckage of Kenobi s starfighter. The droid had obtained detailed information on a new Separatist weapon that was stored within the base s memory banks. Kenobi and Skywalker escorted the droid out of the base, sabotaging the Confederate stronghold to collapse into the river below as they left. Days later, Anakin and Obi-Wan made an undercover insertion onto the planet of Null. Ex-Jedi hopeful turned pirate Lorian Nod learned that Count Dooku was holding a conference with the leaders of the Null Alliance in an attempt to sway them under the Confederate banner. During Kenobi and Skywalker s investigation, the ruler of the planet Delaluna was assassinated. The pair located and trailed the assassin back to Count Dooku and learned of the Separatist leader s plot to butcher the Null Alliance leaders at the conference. With the help of Null natives Floria and Dane, Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to thwart Dooku s scheme and save the members of the Null Alliance, but they were unable to capture the Serenno nobleman. Near the end of month six of the war, Anakin escorted his secret wife, Senator Amidala, alongside fellow Jedi Kenobi and Siri Tachi, to the world of Genian to meet with a slicer named Talesan Fry. The slicer had designed a code-breaker that could 14

15 decrypt almost any transmission and the Republic was desperate to obtain this technology. Although Anakin and his companions were able to obtain the code breaker and deliver it to General Solomahal on Azure, Separatist-hired bounty hunters tracked them to the rendezvous point and a massive Confederate battle group jumped into Azure space. Anakin headed up the space forces while Kenobi and Tachi commanded surface defense. The Confederate forces were too great, however, and resulted in the death of Siri Tachi, the capture of Solomahal, and the destruction of the code breaker. As the Clone Wars raged on into its seventh month, Anakin was assigned to assist Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin when Rendili seceded to the Confederacy. Koon hoped to convince the Rendili Defense Fleet to defect to the Republic while Skywalker and Tiin were given orders to destroy the fleet should negotiations fail. The junior command staff onboard the Rendili flagship mutinied and took Koon and his escorts captive. While the other Jedi made ready to do battle with the massive flotilla of dreadnaughts, Anakin, aware of the weaknesses inherit in the slaved hyperdrive array used by the Rendili ships, devised a daring plan to fire concussion charges into the drive systems of the combatants flagship. Though risky, Skywalker s plan succeeded and prevented the fleet from escaping to rendevzvous with Confederate forces. Order was soon restored onboard the Rendili flagship and the Defense Fleet combined forces with the Republic warships to defeat the Confederate task force. During his debriefing of the skirmish at Rendili, Anakin received a holo-message from Padmé when the two were unable to meet during Skywalker s stay on Coruscant. Alone in the Industrial district while viewing the message, Skywalker was ambushed by Asajj Ventress, who goaded Anakin into battle by threatening Amidala s life. In an intense battle, Ventress slashed Anakin across the face, scarring the young Jedi as she continued to mock him. Anakin lost control, entangled Ventress in a web of electrical cables and threw her off of the roof into the depths of the city, presumably to her death for the second time. That same month, the Republic received pleas for assistance from the inhabitants of the planet Christophsis in their struggle against the Confederacy s occupation. Anakin and Obi-Wan were dispatched to provide assistance with a small contingent of troopers. During a planned ambush, Anakin and Obi-Wan were caught in a surprise attack, thanks to a clone traitor in 15 Anakin and his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano LucasFilm LTD.

16 their ranks. The unprecedented clone betrayal cost Anakin and Obi-Wan s forces their weapons depot, including their gunship compliment, stranding them on the planet while Anakin faced Ventress once more. With the weapons depot in flames and a Separatist blockade overhead, Anakin and Obi-Wan s forces were limited to only heavy cannons for artillery. The Jedi and their forces were able to withstand the initial attack. Much to Anakin s chagrin, instead of reinforcements, a Padawan Learner named Ahsoka Tano arrived and was placed under the tutelage of Skywalker by the Jedi Council. When the Separatists erected an energy shield and began pressing their advance, Obi-Wan led their forces while Anakin and his new Padawan snuck behind enemy lines to disable the shield. Anakin and Ahsoka worked well together and succeeded in destroying the enemy shield generator. With the enemy ranks vulnerable to their artillery rounds, Kenobi and Skywalker s troops handily defeated the Separatist forces and placed General Whorm Loathsom of the Retail Caucus into custody. Safe onboard their flagship the RAS Resolute, Anakin and Obi-Wan were tasked to rescue Jabba the Hutt s son in exchange for Republic use of Hutt Space trade routes. Anakin, Ahsoka and Captain Rex led a battalion of troops in the recovery of Jabba s son, while Obi-Wan traveled to Tatooine to establish negotiations with the Hutt gangster. Anakin and his new apprentice encountered Confederate battle droids and quickly learned that the Separatists were responsible for Rotta s capture. By stealing a Confederate transport, the Twilight, Anakin and his crew were able to escape with the Hutt in their charge. When they arrived on Tatooine, Anakin acted as a decoy to keep Dooku s focus. While they dueled, Anakin s apprentice was doing her best to deliver Rotta to Jabba, despite the MagnaGuards in her path. Though the Jedi were successful in returning Jabba s son, Dooku had convinced Jabba that the Jedi were Rotta s true captors and intended to kill Jabba s son. Even though his son was returned to him, Jabba was out for blood, and attempted to have the Jedi executed anyway. Senator Padmé Amidala intervened via holo-communication, however, with evidence that Jabba s uncle, Ziro, had plotted against him with the Separatists. Skywalker s next assignment was the protection of the Bothuwai system in the face of a Separatist advance orchestrated by General Grievous. Anakin devised a scheme to outsmart the droid general and placed his cruisers on the far side of the planet in a position that would force Grievous to navigate his warships through the asteroid belt of the planet. Anakin planted AT-TE walkers in amongst the asteroids to outflank the Separatists as they passed. The tactic, though reckless, proved successful. Unfortunately Skywalker was shot down during the maneuver and R2-D2 was lost in space. Rescued by Captain Rex, Anakin made a speedy recovery. Due to both his loyalty to the droid, and the fact that R2 had been preprogrammed with all the Republic s battle strategies, Anakin disobeyed his orders to find a nearby Separatist listening post and set forth on a rescue operation to locate his companion and gift from his wife. After searching a nearby salvage ship turned up a dead end, Anakin and Ahsoka resumed their mission to locate the listening post. However, Anakin soon detected a distress signal from Artoo, who had been taken to the very listening post Skywalker was assigned to destroy. Anakin and his team infiltrated the outpost, rescued R2, and planted explosive devices that destroyed the space station. Skywalker and his apprentice were next tasked with setting up a staging area in the Colu system, which gave the Republic a perfect vantage point to observe enemy fleet movements throughout the entire sector. While defending their position, Anakin and Ahsoka received a distress signal from Jedi Master Plo Koon onboard the Triumphant after discovering a new Separatist super weapon. Despite the Council s orders, Anakin and Ahsoka piloted the Twilight to the Abregado system to search for Master Koon and any survivors. Skywalker and Tano were successful in locating Koon and his command staff in an escape pod before rendezvousing with Skywalker s fleet to formulate a strategy to destroy the Confederate warship Malevolence. Circumventing the wishes of Senator Ask Aak, Anakin and Ahsoka led their troops to Bormus to commandeer a squadron of new Koensayr products, the Y-Wing Bomber, to use in an all-out assault on the Malevolence. Skywalker devised a plan to destroy the bridge of the craft to eliminate General Grievous and disable the mammoth warship before it could strike its next target: the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center in the Enarc system. Skywalker and his unit were able to disable the ion pulse weapon on the 16

17 17 Malevolence and force them to begin a retreat. Then, Kenobi s task force arrived to engage the limping warship. During their pursuit of the Malevolence, Senator Amidala s transport dropped out of hyperspace into the middle of the chase and was captured by General Grievous for use as a human shield. Anakin ordered a cease-fire and snuck aboard the enemy craft with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Artoo Deetoo to rescue the Senator and See Threepio. The Jedi were successful in saving the senator and her droid, and sabotaged the ship s navigational systems, which sent it crashing into a nearby moon, destroying the ship. Later that month, after suffering defeat at Nexus Ortai at the hands of the nefarious Separatists, Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan led a dangerous mission to sabotage the Confederacy s shipyards at Gwori. After making planetfall hidden within carbonite containers, the team located the shipyard, but quickly learned that the shipyards were being run by living beings in slavery. The Jedi were betrayed to the Confederate Overseer Juhm by the workforce foreman, and were to be executed by Count Dooku upon his arrival. The group escaped, however, and managed to convince the slave labor force to rise up against the Overseer. The Jedi and the freed slaves stole one of the nearly completed ships from the yard and headed for space while the Republic airstrike destroyed the shipyard. Kenobi, Skywalker and Tano s next mission took them to the Kiros system to liberate the Togruta colonists from a Confederate occupation. In a single day, Anakin and Obi-Wan s forces managed to beat back the Separatist battle droids and defeat their Besalisk commander, but the Togruta had already been taken by Zygerrian slavers. Posing as a slave trader looking to sell Ahsoka, Anakin infiltrated a Zygerrian slaving vessel and obtained information about a grand auction on Zygerria for the people of Kiros. Anakin s undercover identity gained favor with the Queen of Zygerria, but Skywalker was forced to blow his cover when Obi-Wan was captured. Anakin and his allies were overwhelmed, and Anakin was sent to the Queen s chambers to be his servant while the others were sent to Kadavo for processing as slave labor. Using his concern for his companions as a means of persuasion, the Zygerrian Queen attempted to seduce Anakin into becoming her lover. Anakin learned the Zygerrians were in league with the Confederacy and word quickly reached Count Dooku that the Queen did not execute the Jedi as ordered. Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress came to punish her for her indiscretion. Anakin attempted to save the Queen, but arrived too late. He was forced to face-off against both Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress, but was quickly outmatched and forced to make a hasty retreat with Ahsoka and R2. Reunited with his Padawan, Anakin and his companions made their way to Kadavo to rescue Obi-Wan, Rex, and the people of Kiros. Leading a task force into the Kadavo system, Anakin and Ahsoka assaulted the Zygerrian lava foundry where the Togruta toiled. During the rescue attempt a Confederate strike force led by General Grievous dropped out of hyperspace and tried to level the facility while Ventress moved to dispatch the Jedi. Republic reinforcements arrived in time to prevent the destruction of the complex and the deaths of the peoples of Kiros, allowing Anakin and Ahsoka to complete their mission and liberate the slaves. The Republic fleet returned the Togruta to their homeworld, setting up a garrison and at the request of the Kiros inhabitants; the Republic soldiers began teaching the Togruta how to protect themselves. In the eighth month of the war, Intelligence provided information that put Dooku near Vanqor. Anakin allowed himself to be captured in order to gain entry to the Count s personal flagship while Kenobi snuck onboard. The pair confronted Dooku in his chambers, but Dooku was never without an escape route and fled to his personal transport. Kenobi and Skywalker gave chase in a stolen Trade Federation shuttle and shot down the Count s sloop, which crash-landed on Vanqor. During their pursuit of Dooku, the two Jedi became trapped in a cave when the entrance collapsed. Anakin and Obi-Wan were forced to battle with an enormous gundark and were overcome by pockets of poison gas in the rock before Ahsoka and Rex arrived and rescued them. Anakin received word that Dooku had been captured by Weequay pirates attempting to ransom the Separatist leader off to the highest bidder. Skywalker and his former master headed to Florrum to ascertain as to whether the pirates claims were true before agreeing to any settlement. After the pair relayed to their superiors that Dooku was in fact their prisoner, they were drugged and locked up with the Count. Anakin and Obi-Wan were forced to cooperate with Count Dooku in several escape attempts

18 before Republic officials Senator Kharrus and Representative Jar Jar Binks arrived carrying the ransom payment. Thanks to the bumbling antics of Binks, the power to the pirate base was knocked out, allowing the Jedi and Dooku to make their escape. Rather than arrest the pirates, Anakin and Obi-Wan let them go free, with a warning that Dooku would be back to exact revenge if they didn t run while they were able. Days later, Anakin and Ahsoka received a distress call from General Aayla Secura requesting assistance over Quell. They quickly moved to her rescue and aided in the evacuation of her flagship, but Skywalker was gravely injured in the escape. When Anakin regained consciousness, he learned his companions had taken him out of one bad situation and into a worse one. Anakin, still suffering from injuries, was stranded on Maridun alongside Aayla, Ahsoka and Rex. Anakin and Rex befriended a native Lurmen healer named Wag Too, who saw the injured Jedi back to health. The Lurmen village elder refused Anakin s help when a detachment of Confederate troops invaded their peaceful dwellings. However, the Republic agents felt responsible for the Separatist attack, and therefore felt compelled to defend the peaceful Lurmen, regardless of their wishes, when the Separatist commander Lok Durd decided to use the Lurmen as test subjects for a cutting-edge Separatist weapon. Anakin convinced the Lurmen to help themselves and together they defeated the Separatist onslaught. After making a full recovery, Anakin was dispatched to the ice planet of Orto Plutonia with Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two were sent to investigate the loss of communication with a clone trooper garrison. They found the base in shambles and the clones slain. It was discovered that a marooned tribe of Talz were present on the planet and were responsible for the attacks, purely out of fear. Pantoran Chairman Chi Cho wanted them removed forcibly since Orto Plutonia was in Pantoran Space and sabotaged peace talks between the Talz tribal leader and the Jedi. Chairman Cho was killed in battle after the situation escalated to full-scale conflict. With the trouble-maker gone, Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to assist Pantoran Senator Riyo Chuchi in proper negotiations for peace and the establishment of the Talz colony on Orto Plutonia. A short time later, Anakin was reassigned during his liberation of Queel to locate a Separatist spy on Mon Gazza within a podracing circuit. Anakin and Ahsoka went undercover in the podracing circuit and deduced that the Kidd Kareen racing team had been present in every system at the time espionage was discovered. Anakin and Rex eavesdropped on one of Kareen s teammates contacting Count Dooku and planned to make the data exchange during the next race. The traitorous Maxus discovered the identities of Anakin and Ahsoka, and blackmailed Kidd Kareen into helping him eliminate the Jedi during the pod race. Fortunately, Anakin and Ahsoka ruined Maxus plans and destroyed the data file before Asajj Ventress could escape with it in her custody. After their return from Mon Gazza, Anakin and Ahsoka were called to investigate the Sedawan, which was set adrift while carrying Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and a shipment of lightsaber crystals from Ilum. They stumbled upon a Dathomiri Nightsister named Sai Sircu stealing the crystals and capturing Unduli, but were unable to prevent her escape. The pair was barely able to make their escape as the Nightsister activated the ship s selfdestruct before her exit. Fortunately, Skywalker was able to plant a homing device in one of the crystal-filled escape pods before Sircu could make a clean getaway. Teaming up with Obi-Wan, Anakin followed the homing device signal to Rodia, hoping to secure Master Unduli and the crystals. The two Jedi were able to infiltrate a Separatist safe house and confronted one of Sircu s sisters, Yansu Grjak. Drawing power from the imbued Force crystals, Grjak was able to greatly amplify her connection to the Force, but Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to outsmart her. Kenobi and Skywalker recovered the Ilum crystals, but sadly, Master Unduli was nowhere to be found. After an investigation at Christophsis that yielded similar results, the Jedi learned that the Separatists had mounted a Force-powered super weapon on a Subjucator-class battlecruiser, en route to destroy Coruscant. While several paired teams of Jedi gained access to the warship, Anakin paired with Mace Windu to confront Sai Sircu. The witch attuned herself to four giant crystals, feeding from them in a boundless display of Force power. The two legendary Jedi were too much for the Nightsister, however, and defeated Sircu. Her connection with the crystals at the time of her death created a cascade effect that destroyed the Devastation. 18

19 19 At the end of the war s eighth month, the presence of several Trade Federation battle droids was discovered in the swamps on Naboo. Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan were sent to provide assistance and to investigate. Senator Amidala and Jar Jar Binks discovered a secret Confederate base buried beneath the swamp before they were captured. The Jedi set forth to rescue them and uncovered a biological weapons facility being run by an insane Muun scientist named Nuvo Vindi. The crazed Separatist biologist had recreated the deadly Blue Shadow Virus, made it into an airborne contagion, and hatched a scheme to detonate explosives loaded with the virus in key Republic cities all over the galaxy. Anakin and his men captured Vindi during his escape while Obi-Wan and Ahsoka secured the station. Nuvo Vindi had a small droid inside the complex that detonated a vial of the virus in a grenade, infecting the entire underground facility. Anakin and Obi-Wan diligently worked to obtain a possible cure for the Blue Shadow Virus the extract from the Reeksa root found only on Iego. Skywalker and Kenobi sped to the Extrictarium Nebula in the Outer Rim deep within Confederate territory in search of the root. On Iego, the two were greeted by scores of battle droids reprogrammed by a boy named Jaybo. With the assistance of the young technical wizard, Anakin and Obi-Wan successfully acquired a sample of the root they needed after battling carnivorous plants and flying creatures. Ignoring the superstitious claims of the Iego natives of a vengeful apparition called the Ghost of Drol, Kenobi and Skywalker departed, but were blocked from leaving by a Confederate laser defense grid that had been left by the Separatists when they abandoned Iego. Using vulture droids supplied by Jaybo, Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to destroy the Separatist weapon, freeing the inhabitants from their exile on Iego and allowing the Jedi to return to Naboo with the Reeksa root to save their friends. At the close of the eighth month, Anakin and Ahsoka were dispatched with Obi-Wan and Mace Windu to liberate the Twi lek homeworld of Ryloth from Confederate occupation. Skywalker led a task force of three Venator-class Star Destroyers in an assault on the Separatist blockade while his apprentice commanded a wing of starfighters. The Separatists wouldn t be deterred, however, and ambushed Skywalker s fleet with reinforcements. Anakin s fleet took heavy losses, leaving him no choice but to retreat and regroup. Under the guise of surrender, Skywalker rammed the evacuated Star Destroyer Defender into the enemy flagship. In the confusion, the Resolute, commanded by Admiral Yularen, and Ahsoka s fighter wing managed to pick apart the remains of the blockade. The bold maneuver allowed Kenobi and Windu to mobilize their troops on the ground. Skywalker and his apprentice continued to engage enemy bombers while Masters Kenobi and Windu successfully liberated Ryloth. After the victory at Ryloth, Anakin was given several days leave. Skywalker visited his wife, Padmé, at the Senate building and attempted to convince her to spend that downtime with him. As a testament to his love for her, Anakin gifted his lightsaber to Amidala, claiming that it was supposed to be the most important object in a Jedi s life. Their conversation was cut short when Padmé was called away on business with Senator Bail Organa. Moments later, the Senate building was infiltrated by bounty hunters Cad Bane and Aurra Sing, who quickly fortified their position before taking the senators hostage. Skywalker tried to engage the hunters without his lightsaber, but failed, leaving the Chancellor no choice but to bow to the mercenaries demands and release Ziro the Hutt. Skywalker disabled an explosive trap left by Cad Bane before leading the Senators back to safety. In the ninth month of the war, Anakin and Obi-Wan assisted Jedi Nanda-Ree Janoo and Adar Tallon in a successful campaign on Balamak. Their success continued days later above Kothlis when the Separatists attempted to invade the headquarters of the famed Bothan Spy Net. Anakin was sent to Taloraan to negotiate an exclusive contract between the Tibanna gas miners and the Republic. When Anakin s Padawan Ahsoka discovered the Denfrandi Magistrar was secretly working with Count Dooku, undercover Confederate agents tried to silence the Jedi. With the help of the Denfrandi emissary Sec Govlinder, Anakin and Obi- Wan were able to escape execution and send word to Admiral Yularen onboard the Resolute, who decimated the Separatist warship hiding among the clouds of Taloraan. The uprising that followed helped secure a quick victory for the Republic and acquisition of the Tibanna contract. Anakin s ongoing participation in the Clone Wars was an integral part in the Republic s continued victories. In the

20 Genndy Tartakovsky Skywalker and his men on Nelvaan twentieth month of the war, Anakin aided a militia on Virujansi in an intense aerial battle, wiping out scores of Separatist droid fighters before they could ever reach the battlefield below. Skywalker was awarded the title of Warrior of the Infinite, a mantle that had only been granted twenty-nine times in the sixthousand year history of the Virujansi royal court. The bestowing of this title lavished even more attention from the HoloNet media for the young Jedi Knight. Nine months later, in the Clone Wars twenty-ninth month, Anakin and Obi-Wan were dispatched to Bomis Koori IV a key manufacturing colony to the Koorivar of the Corporate Alliance. Kenobi and Skywalker were able to take advantage of the Confederate General Oro Dassyne s overconfidence by assaulting his stronghold without clone trooper support. Together they stormed the facility and destroyed the shield generators protecting the fortress. With its defenses down, a fleet of Republic bombers and warships were able to make short work of the Corporate Alliance bastion. The next month, Anakin and Obi-Wan defended Arkania from Confederate occupation. Skywalker managed to save the lives of Aayla Secura, Agen Kolar, and Voolvif Monn during a skirmish with giant crab droids. Anakin and Obi-Wan were contacted by Mace Windu and Chancellor Palpatine to rescue Jedi Master Yoda from a supposed trap on Vjun. The Jedi pair was forced to do battle with Asajj Ventress in order to reach Yoda, but the Rattataki Dark Jedi fled the scene when the battle did not progress in her favor. The two Jedi barged onto the scene to find Yoda and Count Dooku gripped in combat. Spooked by the arrival of Anakin and Obi-Wan, Dooku made a hasty retreat. Later in the thirtieth month of the war, during clean-up operations after an intense space battle in the Outer Rim, Anakin received a weakened distress signal from a Jedi Knight named Serra Keto. Charging headlong into a rescue operation alone, Anakin came upon an old deep space station where thousands of life forms were detected. When he gained entrance to the station, he discovered dozens of slain clone troopers and several dead Jedi. Demanding justice for his fallen allies, Anakin ignored Keto s insistence on retreat, preferring to search the facility to end whatever threat existed. However, Skywalker found more than he bargained for after stumbling upon hundreds of Separatist biomechanically engineered organism similar to Umgullian racing blobs. The creatures fought with hive-mind intelligence and the two Jedi were barely able to escape with their lives before the facility collapsed from the damage it had sustained. After escorting Keto safely back to Republic space, Anakin pursued Asajj Ventress and Wat Tambor to Xagobah. Although the Separatists escaped, Skywalker managed to save a teenage Boba Fett and his Slave I from destruction at the hands of Ventress. Several days later, Anakin and Obi-Wan found themselves on a barren world attached to Master Yoda s forces. While on a scouting mission, they were ambushed and pursued by a band of bounty hunters attempting to collect on Jedi contracts by the Separatists. Kenobi and Skywalker became cornered in Death Canyon, where they were forced to use a dilapidated hotrod speeder to return safely behind Yoda s front lines. Anakin was relieved when he was given a ten-day leave which he spent with his wife on Naboo. However, Anakin was recruited by Obi-Wan to spend his vacation time tracking Asajj Ventress. 20

21 21 Anakin Skywalker - The Hero With No Fear LucasFilm LTD. Anakin believed the dark assassin to be dead after shooting down a Ginivex-class fighter identical to Ventress in a recent battle, but was convinced to come along to assist his former master. However, Kenobi s inquiries were far from discreet, and they stumbled right into a trap set by Durge. Anakin fought the ancient Gen Dai warrior and killed him by launching his escape pod into a nearby star. The Jedi managed to acquire Durge s pilot droid, which begrudgingly led them to Boz Pity. Anakin, alongside many of the most powerful Jedi of the time, launched an assault on the graveyard planet, battling Grievous, Dooku and Asajj Ventress. Anakin was forced to strike Ventress down to save Obi-Wan from her treachery. Hot on the trail of Dooku and Grievous, Republic intelligence tracked the Separatist leader to a stronghold on the planet of Ruhe. Anakin and Obi-Wan took a single gunship and a squad of clone troopers to covertly apprehend Dooku and Grievous. Unfortunately, they were shot down by vulture droids during their approach. As Commander Jenks oversaw repairs, Anakin and Obi-Wan made their way by speeder to the Confederate citadel. Upon reaching the hideout, the pair quickly discovered it was a trap when they were confronted with a platoon of battle droids, with neither Dooku nor Grievous in sight. Anakin and his former master were barely able to make their escape. In the thirty-fourth month of the war, Anakin and Obi-Wan were deeply entrenched in a stand-off with Separatist forces in the Outer Rim. For a month they had bombarded the enemy s city-wide shields that were expected to hold out for an additional three months. Always impatient, Anakin set out on reconnaissance and located a passage in the sewers that led into the city. He and his former master snuck behind enemy lines beneath the energy shield and managed to locate the shield generator. Using small shaped charges, Kenobi and Skywalker detonated the shield s power source, allowing Commander Cody to march his troops on the city and claim a quick victory. A month later, Kenobi and Skywalker s next mission took them to Cato Neimoidia in an attempt to capture the Trade Federation Viceroy, Nute Gunray. Although the Viceroy managed to escape, the Jedi did confiscate a mechno-chair equipped with a holotransceiver. Upon examining the device, the Republic found trace imagery of the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, which prompted a massive investigation tasked to Kenobi and Skywalker. Their investigation led them from Xi Char to Escarte and then onto Naos III where they discovered the contract to create the custom-made device originated in The Works on Coruscant. After a brief assignment at

22 Belderone, Kenobi and Skywalker continued their investigation on Tythe where they confronted Count Dooku at the LiMerge Power Plasma Facility. The Count had been expecting them, however, and set a trap for the Jedi. Anakin and his mentor were barely able to escape a platoon of battle droids to continue the chase. Skywalker and Kenobi headed to Nelvaan after calculating his hyperspace trajectory. They arrived too late to catch up with Dooku, but discovered a Techno Union research lab hidden in a cavern system sacred to the Nelvaan tribes, where grotesque experiments were being conducted on the Nelvaan braves. Anakin was able to free the Nelvaan, but lost himself to his rage and slaughtered the Techno Union scientists. Once Anakin and Obi-Wan were back aboard their ship, they received a distress call informing them that Coruscant was under attack. They rushed back to the capital to take part in the battle and defend the city planet. Anakin, Obi-Wan, R2-D2 and their wing of clone-piloted ARC-170 fighters engaged in the battle and made an attempt to board Grievous flagship, the Invisible Hand, when they learned the general had taken the Chancellor prisoner. After battling a wave of vulture droids and being pelted by buzz droids, the pair was able to make a crash landing inside the docking bay of the general s ship. They quickly made their way to the observation spire where Palpatine was being held. There they met with Count Dooku, and the three engaged in a duel. Soon Obi-Wan was knocked unconscious, leaving Anakin to face Dooku alone. This time, however, Anakin proved the superior combatant, and severed both of Dooku s hands at the wrist. Palpatine urged Anakin to kill the Count, but Anakin paused, knowing it wasn t the right thing to do. But when Palpatine pressed again, Anakin gave in to his need for vengeance and decapitated the Count. Anakin was regretful for what he had done, but he had no time to stop and think about it. He gathered up Obi-Wan and escorted the Chancellor back towards the docking bay. Before they could make their escape, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine were captured and brought to the bridge to face General Grievous. Anakin and the general met face to face for the first time, and when Anakin and Obi-Wan freed themselves, Grievous plunged an electrostaff through the viewport of the bridge and made a daring escape. Anakin piloted the remains of the ship down to the surface and made a hard crash landing. Anakin and Chosen One Prophesized thousands of years before the Clone Wars by the Oracle of Pelegrin, the Chosen One was foretold to bring balance to the Force in a time of great darkness. The scholars of the Jedi Order never fully understood what the prophecy meant, but it was largely believed that the prophecy spoke of eliminating the threat of the Sith or those who seek to create chaos by perverting the natural order and defying the Will of the Force. This destiny was unique to Anakin Skywalker. By allowing Darth Sidious to rise to power, however, he failed to fulfill his destiny and the galaxy suffered greatly for over a century as a result. By shedding his Darth Vader personae decades after the Clone Wars in an act of dramatic heroism, Anakin managed to place himself back on the path towards fulfilling his destiny. Unfortunately, the act of altruism cost Anakin his life and in the twenty-three years since Anakin turned his back on his destiny, the seeds to continue the Sith tradition for generations had been planted. With the reemergence of Emperor Palpatine inhabiting a clone body six years after his death, and the Sith teachings being passed onto Lumiya and subsequently his own grandson, Jacen Solo, the legacy of the Sith was ensured. Destiny Bonus: Once per encounter, the Chosen One can recover 1 Destiny Point spent during the encounter. Destiny Penalty: The Chosen One is unable to utilize Destiny or Force Points for any reason for the remainder of the encounter. Destiny Fulfilled: All Force-sensitive beings in the galaxy with a Dark Side score of 2 or less receive a +2 destiny bonus to all Use the Force checks until such time that any character achieves their first level in the Sith Lord prestige class. Special: Any character that possesses the Chosen One destiny is granted the bonus feats Force Boon and Strong in the Force. Only one character may have this destiny at any given time (therefore, it is unavailable for use throughout Anakin Skywalker s lifespan). 22

23 23 Obi-Wan escorted Palpatine back to the Senate Rotunda, and Anakin was finally able to spend some time with his wife. She broke the news to him that she was with child, and Anakin was ecstatic. However, premonitions much like those of his mother prior to her end about Padmé s death during child-birth that very night silenced his enthusiasm. The Chancellor later approached Anakin and asked him to be his personal representative on the Jedi Council. The Council was unhappy about this turn of events, but ultimately agreed under the caveat that Anakin would not be granted the rank of Master. Anakin found it insulting, and again voiced his disgust when the Council asked him to spy on the Chancellor s affairs because they suspected Palpatine of treason. Over the course of his Jedi career, Anakin felt frustrated with his master s teachings and harbored feelings of contempt at the way the Jedi Council had treated him, and their unwillingness to bestow him the rank of Master further amplified these negative feelings. Anakin met with the Chancellor at the opera house where they spoke candidly. Palpatine, whose silver tongue catered more towards the boy s growing ego than to dispense sage wisdom, enticed Anakin with stories of an ancient Sith Lord named Darth Plagueis and how he possessed the power to keep people from dying. Anakin decided that he must learn this ability if it was to save his wife. Anakin soon discovered that Palpatine was the second Sith Lord. He rushed to the Council to inform Master Windu of what he had learned and Anakin s superior instructed him to stay at the temple until the situation was resolved, because his personal feelings for Palpatine conflict with the mission. Ever defiant, Anakin couldn t obey those instructions and sped to the Chancellor s office to find Masters Fisto, Kolar and Tiin dead, while Master Windu had cornered the Chancellor by a broken window. Mace professed that he was going to arrest the Chancellor for treason and Palpatine unleashed a fury of Dark Side lightning at the Jedi Master. Immediately, Master Windu realized that the Chancellor would have to be killed. Anakin saw no choice but to intervene, slicing off Master Windu s saber hand. It was all the time Palpatine needed to put an end to Master Windu by electrocuting him with his Sith lightning and forcing the Jedi Master out the window hundreds of meters above the surface of Coruscant. Not only had Mace Windu perished, but so had Anakin Skywalker when he agreed to become the Sith Lord s apprentice in order to save Padmé. From that point on, he was known as Darth Vader.

When the Vurk Jedi Master, Coleman Trebor, was killed by Jango Fett at the Battle of Geonosis, Coleman Kcaj was selected to take his short-term seat on the Jedi Council. Master Kcaj had an affinity for crafting, modifying and repairing machines and offered his technological expertise to council sessions during the war. While his whereabouts are unknown, because his post often kept him in the Jedi Temple s workshops on Coruscant, it is likely that he was killed when Darth Vader and the clone troopers of the 501st stormed the temple and murdered the Jedi.

From a very early age, Depa showed great strength in the Force. When Depa came of age, Master Windu took her as his Padawan Learner. During her training, Master Windu created the lightsaber art of Vaapad, and imparted this wisdom unto Depa Billaba. Billaba adopted the beliefs and traditions of the Chalactan Adepts in honor of her parents earning the Greater Mark of Illumination as a sign of her deep spirituality. Her achieved enlightenment lent to her powerful presence and mental attunement to her allies, which was ultimately the deciding factor that saw her appointed to the Jedi High Council. She held this mantle a decade before the Clone Wars when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn brought Anakin Skywalker before the Council, and was among the council members to agree to Skywalker s training to become a Jedi Knight. During the Battle of Geonosis, Master Billaba participated in the battle outside of the arena. She accompanied Echuu Shen-Jon 26

27 27 Depa Billaba LucasFilm LTD. and his Padawan, Stam Reath, in an attempt to disable the Trade Federation core ships. After successfully destroying one core ship, they joined forces with Ki-Adi Mundi and Plo Koon to prevent Count Dooku from making his escape. However, Depa and her companions were intercepted by Confederate General Sev Rance Tann, and Stam Reath was killed in the exchange. Tann s ambush delayed Billaba and the others long enough to facilitate Dooku s getaway. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu s home world Haruun Kal came under siege by the Separatists and it was Master Billaba that was assigned to assist the natives in shaking off their would-be oppressors. Depa took up arms with the Korunnai natives and their leader, Kar Vastor, engaging in a guerilla campaign against the Confederacy and the Balawai prospectors. Being immersed in the Summertime War amidst the constant conflict and the harsh, oppressive nature of the planet took its toll on Depa s sanity. Depa succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and disappeared into the forests of Haruun Kal. Within a short span of time, Depa was successful in removing the Separatist threat, tho ugh Kar Vastor convinced her to disobey the Council and stay on until the true fight was finished. Depa, having come under the grip of the Dark Side in Vastor s presence, agreed and waged war on the Balawai prospectors despite the Council s orders. By the sixth month of the Clone Wars, Mace Windu was dispatched to determine her whereabouts. After an exhaustive effort by Mace Windu, Depa Billaba was recovered from the toxic jungles of Haruun Kal. However, seemingly irreparable damage had been done to Depa s psyche. Her experience with the Dark Side and the foul deeds she committed while within its grasp provoked her to attempt suicide the result of which left her in a coma. Depa was returned to the Jedi Temple and resided in the infirmary. Jedi Master T ra Saa frequently brought her to the temple gardens and attempted to repair her shattered mind with little to no success. Had she ever regained consciousness, she would have to stand trial and face the consequences of her crimes on Haruun Kal. Billaba was present in the infirmary when Darth Vader and his legion of clones assaulted the Jedi Temple, most likely perishing during the purge.

28 Chalactan Adepts The Chalactan Adepts were a spiritual order originating from the mid-rim world of Chalacta. Its followers believe that the natural order that guides the universe also directs and shapes the lives of all those that inhabit it. Their mantra, So Without, As Within, is a reminder that the universe is connected, and that the stars and other celestial bodies influence the lives of everyone. Members of the Chalactan Adepts strive for enlightenment, studying and contemplating this goal in the many temples built throughout the civilized galaxy. The mystics of the Chalactan faith are overseen by the Convocation of Adepts. This inner circle is responsible for the induction of new members into their order. The Convocation of Adepts is comprised of members of the Chalactan Adepts that have attained Chalactan Enlightenment the highest degree of spiritual attunement, and the ultimate goal of all Chalactan Adepts. The Convocation of Adepts presides over the order at the Temple of Illumination in the religion s birthplace on Chalacta. Members of the Chalactan Adepts endeavoring to reach their objective of Chalactan Enlightenment are referred to as Seekers. Seekers bear the Lesser Mark of Illumination a small gold bead permanently attached between the eyes of the Adept. The Lesser Mark is a symbolic representation of the Seeker and their devotion to the journey of total enlightenment. Those who achieved their goal bore the Greater Mark of Illumination, representing the Unclosing Eye or the universe. This mark was characterized by a second, larger gold bead affixed to the Adept s forehead. Together, the two marks symbolize the order of Chalactan Adepts.

Piell was plucked from a life of poverty and brought to the Jedi Temple to be trained as a Jedi Knight. Even Piell grew into a powerful Jedi with an indomitable will and formidable skill with a lightsaber. The Lannik developed an intense loyalty to the Jedi and the Galactic Republic, never forgetting the plight of the people of his home planet. After his knighting, Piell was given the opportunity to serve as a Jedi liaison to the Lannik monarchy acting as a protector to the royal family alongside their security chief, Hutar Zash. The Lannik government was entrenched in conflict with a domestic terrorist organization known as the Red Iaro. When two Corellian diplomats, the parents of fellow Jedi Adi Gallia, were sent to Lannik to encourage a settlement to quell the feud, Piell was assigned to oversee the negotiations. The talks were cut short, however, when a small group of Red Iaro extremists stormed the summit location and took the royal council hostage. Even Piell squared off against seven Red Iaro terrorists, besting six before forcing the last to flee. During the skirmish, Piell lost his left eye, but managed to save the Corellian diplomats from certain death. Even Piell refused reconstructive surgery, wearing the disfigurement as a badge of honor. Following years of distinguished service, Even Piell was granted the rank of Jedi Master and appointed a long-term seat on the Jedi High Council. Due to his extensive knowledge with historical events and Jedi dogma, he also claimed a seat on the Council of First Knowledge. As a member of the Jedi Council, Even Piell was an integral part in many galactic events in the years LucasFilm LTD. preceding the Clone Wars, such as the Yinchorri Uprising and the Eriadu Trade Summit. In the years before the Clone Wars began, Even Piell took on a new apprentice a human male named Jax Pavan. Master Piell was present at the Battle of Geonosis some years later, and took part in the Clone Wars that followed. When Chancellor Palpatine declared Order 66, forcing clone troopers to turn on their Jedi commanders, Even Piell was able to escape assassination. Amidst the chaos at the Jedi Temple, Piell was able to make his escape into the lower levels of Coruscant s undercity. Shortly after Order 66 was declared, Piell joined a resistance movement called Whiplash that helped covertly ferry fugitives to the Empire off of Coruscant. Even was discovered

30 by Imperial stormtroopers and after weeks on the run, Piell was cornered in an ancient abandoned casino in the Crimson Corridor. Exhausted, the Jedi Master made his last stand against the squad of stormtroopers. Though he demonstrated impressive battle prowess, Piell was bested by his opponents and wracked by a grenade burst. Before he perished, a group of Whiplash operatives led by Nick Rostu ambushed the stormtroopers. Piell used his last remaining breaths to urge Rostu to locate his former apprentice, Jax Pavan, to complete the mission Piell died trying to accomplish locate a droid named Bug Eyes, as it carried information vital to Piell s fellow freedom fighters.

Ki-Adi Mundi Ki-Adi Mundi was a Cerean Jedi Master during the Clone Wars. He was discovered on his home world of Cerea by the Dark Woman when he was four years old. Mundi s father allowed him to be taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained, optimistic that one day his son would return and depose the oppressive raider, Bin-Garda-Zon. For over twenty years, Ki-Adi s knowledge and power in the Force grew, and he was eventually granted the honorific of Jedi Knight. His first mission took him back to his home world of Cerea where he was to serve as watchman on behalf of the Jedi Order. Upon his arrival, Mundi planned to rid the planet of Bin-Garda- Zon and his raiders as promised. Mundi was shocked to discover, however, that Bin-Garda-Zon had been overthrown by his own daughter and forced into servitude. Ki-Adi Mundi was able to defeat Garda-Zon s daughter and disband the group without bloodshed. Due to the low birth rate of Cerean males, Ki-Adi Mundi was allowed to remain on Cerea and take on a bond-wife, as well as four honor-wives. With his wives, he fathered seven daughters and one son. When Cerea officially joined the Galactic Republic, incoming galactic corporations and organizations swarmed Cerea in an attempt to be the first to stake their claim on Cerea s protected natural resources and naïve consumers. The younger Cerean 30

31 31 generation was taken in by the allure of technology, while the elder generation rejected it. Mundi stayed with his family to see his world through the turbulent times common to most cultures adapting to life as a member world of the Republic. Many small incidents broke out, and during one such event, a young Cerean s life was lost because of the actions of a young techrat. Ki-Adi Mundi investigated the situation thoroughly, and discovered that his own daughter, Sylvn, was a part of the radical group and was harboring the murderer. Mundi s inquiries led him to discover that the Chevin gunrunner Ephant Mon was responsible for smuggling technology onto Cerea on behalf of Jabba the Hutt, who was also involved in arming the Trade Federation. Upon learning he had been discovered, Ephant Mon kidnapped Ki-Adi s daughter Sylvn and fled to Tatooine. Mundi gave chase and managed to rescue his daughter, but was unable to apprehend the Chevin. Even though he impounded a shuttle carrying a shipment of illegal cargo, he was unable to link Jabba and the Trade Federation to the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Upon returning to Cerea, Ki-Adi Mundi received news that he had been given a temporary seat on the Jedi High Council a great honor to a Jedi not yet elevated to the rank of Master. He traveled to Coruscant to take his position and fellow Cerean Tarr Seir replaced him as the Watchman of Cerea. Following the conflict at Yinchorr that resulted in the death of council member Micah Giett, Mundi was offered a lateral movement as a permanent member on the Jedi Council and given the rank of Jedi Master. Mundi was then given his first assignment since assuming his position on the Jedi Council, where he was ordered back to Tatooine. There he was to locate a long-lost Jedi Knight named Sharad Hett who was living amongst the Tusken Raiders. He managed to track down Hett and his son A Sharad, but no sooner had he found them; then the Jedi Hunter Aurra Sing struck down Sharad Hett. Mundi returned to Coruscant with A Sharad Hett, whom he took on as his Padawan Learner. Mundi remained on the Council over the next decade, watching the secessionist threat grow in strength and momentum. Ki-Adi Mundi, like most other Jedi, refused to believe that the former Jedi Master Count Dooku s intentions were anything but altruistic. Ki-Adi Mundi answered the Council s call to arms when the group of some two-hundred Jedi traveled to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. Mundi and Jedi Master Plo Koon led an assault on a nearby Trade Federation droid control ship in an effort to disable the battle droid broadcast signal to even the odds for the main incursion. Mundi learned too late that the battle droids no longer relied on a broadcast signal like they did a decade prior; resulting in Mundi and Koon being easily captured and ferried to the arena to allow Dooku to decide their fate. Though Mundi was counted among the survivors, the Jedi were hopelessly overwhelmed by the Separatist Battle Droids and the majority of the rescue force was slaughtered. When the Grand Army of the Republic, under the leadership of Master Yoda, arrived to reinforce the Jedi, Mundi took on a commission as a High General in the Republic s military force and led a legion of clone troopers onto the battlefield and to victory. When Obi-Wan Kenobi went missing on the planet of Jabiim in the second month of the Clone Wars, Ki-Adi agreed to take Anakin Skywalker on as his next Padawan Learner. In the third month, Mundi and his army reinforced the forces at Aargonar. Mundi s former Padawan, A Sharad Hett, and Jedi Knight Bultar Swan led the campaign prior to Mundi s arrival, but the situation on Aargonar had gotten progressively worse. Republic Forces had been pinned down and were severely out-gunned. A gunship carrying Skywalker, Hett and his Padawan had been shot down during the battle and they were presumed dead. In light of the extensive losses, Mundi was beginning to consider surrendering to the enemy. After an intense ion-storm in the Vandar Canyon where Mundi s army was trapped, Hett and Skywalker resurfaced with a Gouka dragon in tow, turning the tide of the battle and giving Mundi a chance to rally his troops to achieve victory. Mundi and Skywalker then returned to Coruscant to address the Senate on the progress of the war and to debrief. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine personally assigned the Jedi pair to reign in an outbreak of pirate activity that had been sweeping the Ison Corridor, where Senator Bail Organa had recently been attacked. While Mundi s 4th Sector Army was being re-supplied, Mundi and Skywalker traveled to Varonat with Plo Koon and Adi Gallia. After an intense conflict above Varonat, Skywalker felt through the Force that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Trooper Alpha were alive. Begrudgingly trusting his new Padawan s connection to his

32 Ki-Adi Mundi LucasFilm LTD. former master, Mundi relented and few to Riflor with Skywalker. Upon reaching Riflor, Mundi was pleasantly surprised to find that Anakin was correct and after a brief skirmish with bounty hunters trying to detain Kenobi, Mundi released his headstrong new Padawan back to his former mentor. Following the battle of Lianna in the third month of the war, Ki-Adi attended the funeral of Jedi Master Cei Vookto. At the funeral, Mundi agreed to take on Vookto s Padawan Learner, Dama Montalvo, as his own. Later that month, however, Montalvo was reassigned to another master, allowing Mundi to dedicate his attention to the war effort. In the following month, Ki-Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura led a campaign against the Confederacy on the lush world of Hitaka. Tasked with a top-secret mission from the Chancellor, Mundi and Secura placed a mock-courier mission in the hands of the newlyknighted Jedi Anise I Zak. The young Jedi unknowingly served as a decoy as Mundi and Secura fulfilled their secret objectives. Unfortunately, Ki-Adi Mundi s mission was also a ruse by the Chancellor, secretly the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, to allow Count Dooku to fulfill a secret mission of his own. Later that month, Ki-Adi Mundi led a vast task force Hypori, where it was discovered that the Techno Union and Trade Federation had hidden a series of massive droid foundries before the war began. Upon his fleet s arrival to Hypori, however, Mundi s fleet blundered into a minefield a trap laid by General Grievous. Bombarded by orbital space mines, the fleet was almost completely destroyed. The flagship carrying Mundi and the rest of his Jedi commanders was forced to crash-land on the surface. When they emerged from the wreckage, the group of Jedi was ambushed by a massive army of Confederate Battle Droids. Many Jedi died during the skirmish, but Mundi, Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti were rescued by Republic ARC troopers. In the seventh month of the war, Ki-Adi Mundi headed an investigation into Separatist activity at the edge of civilized space near Barab I. Through the course of his investigation, Mundi and his contingent were ambushed by Confederate forces. Vastly outnumbered and pinned down, Mundi s group was decimated and Mundi was nearly killed. The Jedi Master barely managed to make it back to Coruscant. The Republic had begun to suffer great losses in the mid-rim in the eighth month of the war. Certain a spy existed within the Bureau of Republic Intelligence, Mundi took it upon himself to investigate the matter while his forces were replenished. Mundi soon discovered that the Senator to the Mytaranor sector had been blackmailed into providing Republic information to the Confederacy. Master Mundi was unsuccessful in his attempt to thwart the latest disclosure of information between the Senator and Asajj Ventress, and the victimized senator lost his life in 32

33 33 the exchange. However, the data disc obtained by Ventress was heavily encrypted, and the senator divulged Ventress destination with his dying breath Mon Gazza. Ki-Adi Mundi and Yoda ordered Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padawan Ahsoka Tano to retrieve the stolen data. During the sixteenth month of the Clone Wars, Mundi received news that his entire family had been slaughtered, along with nearly a million other Cereans, at the hands of the Confederacy admist the the Battle of Cerea. Mundi grieved their loss privately, using his pain to strengthen his resolve and re-double his efforts towards winning the war on behalf of the Republic. Near the end of the War in its thirty-second month, General Mundi was one of the commanders conducting the Outer Rim Sieges. He was present on the Republic cruiser Intervention where he helped formulate a battle strategy for the Battle of Boz Pity. Even though the Republic forces had a shaky start by crash-landing on the planet, the operation was a victory for the Republic. In the weeks preceding the end of the Clone Wars, Ki-Adi Mundi led a strike force to the planet of Ord Canfre. He was accompanied by several Jedi Knights including the young Rivi- Anu and Eon. Mundi charged his forces toward victory against the droid armies of the Techno Union, but a Republic Acclamatorclass command cruiser was shot down by enemy emplacements, causing the ship to plummet towards the battlefield. Had it not been for the brave sacrifice of Rivi-Anu, Jedi-General Mundi s unit would ve been obliterated by the crash-landing. Rivi-Anu dug deep within herself and used the Force to slow the cruiser s descent long enough for Mundi and his forces to escape. When the Battle of Coruscant occurred, Mundi and his Galactic Marines, led by Commander Bacara, were on the icy Commerce Guild stronghold of Mygeeto. During a forward assault that would have surely led to victory, the Chancellor declared himself Emperor and initiated Order 66, branding the Jedi as traitors to the state. Ki-Adi Mundi was viciously struck down in a hail of blaster fire by his own clone troopers. The official Imperial report claimed Mundi was killed while attempting to plant an explosive device on the bridge in a terrorist act.

Kit Fisto Kit Fisto Master Kit Fisto was a Nautolan that came from the Sabilon region on the water planet of Glee Anselm. During his years as a member of the Jedi Order, Kit Fisto grew to become one of the greatest warriors in the galaxy, having mastered the simple yet effective Shii-cho lightsaber style. Kit Fisto trained hard and was also a strong practitioner of Djem-So (Form V). Master Fisto possessed strong talents at altering the Force around him to produce telekinetic movement. He was also gifted at many aspects of the Living Force such as sensitivity to the emotions of those around him, which was amplified by his species head tentacles, which function as highly-sensitive olfactory receptors. Because of his aquatic nature, Fisto fashioned his lightsaber using various techniques that allowed him to use the weapon underwater as well as above. He would often use his manipulative powers in the Force to alter water behavior and currents during submerged combat. As a Jedi Knight, Fisto was always reluctant to take on an apprentice and several times refused a position on the Jedi High Council, instead opting to assist the Council of Reconciliation in their affairs. He gave in to his procrastination when Jedi Master Tahl was killed on a mission to New Apsolon and her Mon Calamari Padawan, Bant Eerin, was recalled to the temple for reassignment. The Council believed that Fisto, being a fellow member of an aquatic species, would be able to build on Bant s natural abilities better than most non-water breathing species and Fisto agreed. When Bant s training was completed, he chose another Mon Calamari Padawan to train named Nahdar Vebb. However, in the years preceding the Clone Wars, the growing Separatist threat demanded more of Fisto s time at the Jedi Temple and he was forced to discontinue his Padawan s training and Vebb was reassigned. LucasFilm LTD. Fisto accompanied Mace Windu and two-hundred and ten other Jedi to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and quash the Separatist threat before it erupted into all-out war. Mace Windu selected the Nautolan Jedi Master along with Shaak Ti and Luminara Unduli to serve as fellow commanders in the assault against the droid armies of the Confederacy. Kit was tasked with defending the flanks of the clone forces, where he and his men encountered scores of battle droids guarding the Separatist evacuation sites. 34

35 35 Four months after the Battle of Geonosis, Kit Fisto was stationed on Kamino with Jedi Knight Aayla Secura. Fisto and Secura were to work with the clone trainers to help familiarize the clones with Jedi tactics and philosophies so that the two could work together more efficiently on the battlefield. When Fisto arrived at his post, however, he was greeted by the mysterious deaths of several clones. Through the course of their investigation, Aayla and Kit discovered that the clones had been infected with a nano-virus created by a turn-coat Kaiminoan saboteur. The traitor was aided by Separatist battle droids, and in a skirmish, Secura was dragged beneath the waves to drown. Kit Fisto dove in after Aayla and pressed his lips against hers sharing a kiss which also served to provide air to the Twi lek until they could reach the surface. The two Jedi were able to retrieve a pure form of the nano-virus and deliver it to the Kaminoan cloners to manufacture a vaccine. Following the crisis at Kamino, Master Fisto was sent to Mon Calamari, where the Quarren Isolation League had sided with the Confederacy and attempted to subjugate the peaceful Mon Calamari. Fisto led an aquatic clone trooper unit against the Quarren attack ships and Separatist battle droids in the depths of the Calamarian ocean world. Through Kit s shrewd tactics and skill in the Jedi arts, the Republic was successful in stopping the threat of Quarren domination. Over the course of the next several days, Kit Fisto broke down the Isolation League s infrastructure, single-handedly neutralizing several cells. Fisto discovered that a hive-minded jelly-fish like species known as the Moappa had been working with the Separatists, telepathically dispatching orders to the various Isolation League cells on behalf of the Confederacy. Fisto relayed this information to the Mon Calamari politicians, urging diplomacy after realizing the conflict began after the Mon Calamari failed to acknowledge the sentience of the Moappa collective. Five months after the Clone Wars began, the Jedi Order dispatched Kit Fisto with a group of Jedi to investigate the raiding of Republic supply lines along the Corellian Trade Spine. The Senator to the planet Devaron, Vien sai Malloc, contacted the Jedi with information suggesting the culprits were based out of Devaron. The senator was assassinated by Aurra Sing before she could disclose the name of a traitor involved with the pirate activity. With what information they had obtained, Fisto and his companions devised a strategy to sneak planet-side to investigate the allegations. Fisto and T ra Saa stayed behind with the fleet while Aayla Secura, Tholme, and An ya Kuro headed to Devaron in disguise. Secura managed to contact Fisto and Saa with the location of the raider s base, and the Jedi Masters stormed the outpost with their troops. The pirate operation was shut down, Aayla Secura captured Aurra Sing, and the traitorous Senator Vien Sai Malloc was discovered and brought up on charges of treason by the Devaronian government. One month later, Kit Fisto was tapped by Mace Windu to infiltrate The Rig an asteroid base in the Stennes Node that was home to the Crimson Nova Bounty Hunter Guild. Evidence linking the guild to illegal bounties on Jedi and Republic Senators on behalf of the Confederacy had been uncovered by the Jedi. Fisto posed as a prisoner to Agen Kolar s bounty hunter personae, Argent Kole, and gained admittance to the facility while Saesee Tiin posed as a contraband trader. Easily invoking the bravado plaguing most bounty hunters, Fisto escaped his mock-custody and fled further into The Rig and incited a riot. Amidst the chaos created by the Jedi, Kit Fisto and his comrades were able to storm the command center and bring Mika, the guild s leader, to justice. In the seventh month of the war, Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to Ord Cestus. Fisto attempted to win the allegiance of the Desert Wind resistance group to combat the leaders of the planet the Five Families. The Jedi needed the opportunity to determine whether the Five Families were supplying the Confederacy with JK-series droids. During the mission, Kit Fisto posed as a minion of Dooku, a persona called Nemonus, and threatened the leaders of the Five Families on behalf of his master so that Obi-Wan could swoop in and stage a rescue to win the Five Families over. The guise failed and the Jedi were even more discredited with the Five Families than they were before. It then became apparent that the purchase of JK-series droids by the Separatists was a plot set forth by Count Dooku to cause the Republic to prosecute an otherwise peaceful planet. It was Dooku s hope that this would convince hundreds of star systems to side with the Confederacy. Through the process of preventing this from becoming a reality, Kit Fisto faced Asajj Ventress and was nearly killed by the Dark Jedi, barely managing to escape.

36 Kit Fisto accepted a seat on the Jedi High Council in the eighth month of the war, filling the void left by Coleman Trebor since the Battle of Geonosis. Teaming up with Obi-Wan Kenobi once more, Fisto infiltrated the new Confederate warship, the Devastation. Together, the Jedi faced off against Count Dooku and discovered the massive battle cruiser was on course for an assault of Coruscant. Fisto and Kenobi wasted no time in causing as much damage as possible to the ship s targeting systems in hopes of knocking out the ship s ability to attack the capital with its experimental super weapon. As part of a Jedi strike force with Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi were able to put an end to the threat posed by the Devastation. Later that month, Master Fisto was tasked with apprehending the recently escaped Nute Gunray, who had been tracked to the Vessek system. A Republic squad led by Fisto s old Padawan, Nahdar Vebb, had also tracked the signal and arrived ahead of the Nautolan. Together, the group discovered a vast citadel hidden within the foggy mountains. The Jedi and their troops were led into a trap, however, and they discovered too late that the complex was the secret lair of General Grievous. Sensing Grievous approach, Fisto devised a plan to surprise the droid general. However, Grievous was more than a match for the Jedi and their clone troopers, as the cybernetic warrior used booby traps and vile creatures to level the playing field. The Confederate general slaughtered the clone troopers and Nahdar Vebb, but Fisto managed to escape unharmed. Eight months after the Clone Wars began, the Geonosians invaded the Wild Space world of Rishi to control its exonium mines to power their sonic weaponry. Kit Fisto was sent with a company of clone troopers to liberate the planet. The Geonosians were in their native element, having entrenched themselves in the tunnels and subterranean areas of the mines, and the clone troopers were bested. When Fisto arrived, he and a clone sniper called Cooker managed to decimate the Geonosian guards and flush them out of the heavy doors guarding the quarry. Clone troopers and Rishii warriors were then able to break the enemy forces and reclaim the mines for the Rishii. Following the failed invasion of Rodia by the Trade Federation, Senator Onaconda Farr contacted the Republic when local forces discovered battle droids at an abandoned station. Kit Fisto was sent to investigate and quickly discovered an underwater communications antenna guarded by battle droids. As he attempted to disable the communications tower, Fisto was ambushed by the bounty hunter Robonino, but the slippery assailant managed to escape further into the station. After infiltrating the abandoned facility and fighting off scores of battle droids, Kit Fisto was able to place Robonino in custody when an angry kwazel maw scooped the bounty hunter up and spat him at the Jedi s feet. As the Clone Wars entered its tenth month, Kit Fisto accompanied Plo Koon to M bardi prison, deep within the Outer Rim, to subdue a prison riot that had exploded out of control. Master Koon took a much more rigid approach to subduing the prisoners, seeing them all as evil criminals, and attempted to take whatever measures necessary to restore peace. Master Fisto, however, argued with his companion s tactics vying for a more merciful approach. Before the Jedi could get the situation back under control, the Separatist bounty hunter Durge revealed his presence. The mysterious Gen dai had organized the entire prison riot in an attempt to lure Jedi to their deaths. His plan might have succeeded, had it not been for a prisoner that Fisto convinced Koon to spare. A well-placed blaster shot from the unlikely rescuer distracted the evil bounty hunter, causing his attack to go wide and instead strike the ceiling. The blast created a gaping hole and provided the Jedi and their ally with a serviceable egress. Durge continued to pursue them, but Fisto and Koon dropped a massive boulder on the opening, preventing Durge from giving chase. Kit Fisto continued to serve the Jedi Order and the Republic throughout the Clone Wars, and dedicated his talents to the Planet of Origin: Glee Anselm You come from the oceanic world of Glee Anselm. You have become accustomed to living both underwater and on land. Since spoken communication is impractical underwater, you have learned the native tongue of the Anselmians who inhabit the land.

37 37 Outer Rim Sieges in the final year of the war. He was assigned to a task force on the RAS Intervention that crash-landed on Boz Pity preceding the epic battle that nearly put an end to the war in its thirty-first month. At the second Battle of Coruscant, Kit Fisto piloted a Jedi starfighter in a desperate attempt to rescue the Supreme Chancellor from his abduction by General Grievous. In the chase, Grievous fired on cargo containers being hauled by transport vessels in shipping lanes to block the Jedi s pursuit. The Jedi finally managed to get close enough to perform attack runs on the shuttle, but between the ship s powerful laser cannons and its heavy shielding, their attacks proved futile. Fisto was forced to break away from the chase to assist with defending the capital in the siege, leaving the pursuit in the hands of Pablo-Jill and a handful of other Jedi. When the identity of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious was discovered, Master Mace Windu approached Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar to assist him in the arrest of the Dark Lord now known to the Jedi to be the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. During the attempted arrest of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin were quickly struck down, and while Kit Fisto was not quite so easily dispatched, he only managed to last a few moments longer than his fallen comrades before joining them.

Mace was orphaned before he was given a name, only possessing the title of his ghôsh, Windu, and was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi Knight when he was only six months old. Over the years, he grew to be an extremely powerful, yet well-rounded Jedi. He became well-versed in diplomacy, Jedi history and philosophy as well as Force training and lightsaber technique. Mace Windu possessed a special talent that he referred to as seeing shatterpoints. He described the technique as though he were looking into the will of the Force as if it was a crystalline matrix. He had the foresight to see through to the endgame and determine the weak points in any given situation from one-onone combat to galactic-scale events. Striking those weak points would make the entire situation break apart. During his apprenticeship, Mace traveled to the planet of Hurikane for his first solo mission and demonstrated compassion by healing one of the crystalline natives. Windu was awarded a purple Hurikane crystal for his kindness, which he used in the construction of his lightsaber. He later served a tour of duty fighting off pirates on the Temblor, a primitive sailing ship on the planet Wroona. Windu effortlessly achieved the rank of Jedi Knight, and later became a great Jedi Master at a remarkably early age. When a revolution was incited and civil war broke out on the planet of Arkania, a twenty-two year old Mace Windu stepped in to work with Republic judicial units. He, along with Jedi Master Aqinos and the Iron Knights, assisted the Arkanian government in their fight against Gorm the Dissolver and his band of renegades. Twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, he was chosen to sit on the Jedi High Council as a permanent member at the age of twenty-eight, and became the youngest human to be offered the position in recorded history. Mace Windu would grow to become a senior member of the council, whose opinion soon became just as respected as that of Master Yoda. One of Mace Windu s apprentices was Depa Billaba, whom he rescued from a group of pirates that had murdered her parents many years prior. He was also the former master of Echuu Shen- Jon, and became famous in the Jedi community for adapting the seventh Lightsaber form of Juyo into his own style of Vaapad with the help of Jedi Lightsaber Instructor Sora Bulq. The galaxy became gripped in the threat of a secessionist movement within the Republic during Windu s residency on the Jedi High Council. Mace Windu served as chief diplomatic liaison to the Supreme Chancellor s office with fellow senior Council members Yoda and Ki-Adi Mundi. Windu, like most of the Council, refused to believe that Separatist leader Count Dooku could have attempted to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala or could be preparing for a war with the Republic. Mace Windu was quickly forced to gather what Jedi he could to launch a rescue mission to save Obi-Wan from Dooku s clutches. During the conflict, Master Windu had an opportunity to strike down Count Dooku, but the bounty hunter Jango Fett interfered. Windu squared off with and soundly defeated Jango Fett, beheading the bounty hunter. The Jedi learned too late that the battle droids of the Trade Federation no longer required the broadcast signal to function as they did at Naboo, and they were grossly overwhelmed. Mace Windu was among a handful of survivors when Master Yoda came to their rescue with an entire army of clone troopers. Whisked away to the Republic staging area, Mace quickly found himself thrust into the role of a military commander, leading an elite commando unit into the battle; the Clone Wars had begun. 38

39 39 Mace Windu LucasFilm LTD. Mace accepted a High General s commission in the Grand Army of the Republic and was given command of Systems Army Alpha. He also headed the investigation to identify the second Sith Lord who was rumored to have infiltrated the Republic Senate. In confidence with the Jedi Council, Windu confessed that he believed that Count Dooku was the shatterpoint for the entire war at that time, and the conflict at large could have been avoided had he not hesitated and simply struck down the Separatist leader. Though he admitted such an action would have been against the Jedi philosophy and would have most certainly lead to his death at the hands of Jango Fett. He also expressed his concern over the fact that the Jedi had been stretched far too thin across the galaxy as the commanders of this Clone War. In the third month of the war, after attending Master Cei Vootko s funeral, Mace Windu traveled to the planet of Ruul to sway Jedi dissidents who had abandoned the Jedi Order due to their disapproval of the Jedi s with their role in the war. There he met with his old friend Sora Bulq and other fellow Jedi. Windu was unable to dissuade Sora Bulq from his dissent because the Weequay Jedi Master had fallen to the Dark Side and sided with Count Dooku. The Dark Side assassin, Asajj Ventress, arrived at the meeting and claimed to be under the employ of Mace Windu, which cast considerable doubt on Windu s pleas. Mace saw through Bulq and Ventress conspiring and confronted Sora. The fight left Sora Bulq buried beneath rubble and left for dead while Mace hurried to help his brethren with the fight against Ventress. Together with K kruhk and Sian Jeisel, Mace was able to force Ventress into retreat. The chain of events helped K kruhk and Sian Jeisel see the truth, and the two Jedi agreed to answer Mace s call to aide the Republic. A month later, Windu traveled with Saesee Tiin to his home world of Iktoch. Together, the two Jedi led a joint task force against Separatist forces on the planet. During the conflict, the two friends enjoyed a spirited debate over their idealogical differences in regard to the application of the Force in combat. Amidst the conflict, the two were forced to combine their efforts against the latest in Separatist technology: the Ultra-Battle Droid. The B-2 Ultra Battle Droid was a standard Super Battle Droid design scaled up to three meters in height and armed like a repulsor tank. The two Jedi managed to defeat the colossus in a stunning display of Force powers and lightsaber techniques. Windu then led a mission to Dantooine to battle the threat to prevent galactic food-stores from coming under the control of the Separatists. He and his entire unit were ambushed by a new Separatist weapon the Seismic Tank. His unit suffered heavy casualties, and Windu found himself weaponless and facing an entire army of battle droids alone. When he was able to retrieve his weapon, he made his move on the seismic tank. Again, with no assistance to call on, he infiltrated the tank weapon, destroyed the droid crew and demolished the controls. The tank came crashing down onto the remaining droid forces and Windu secured a victory for the Republic, though at a high cost of lives. Following successful campaigns on Dantooine and Iktoch,

40 Windu returned to Coruscant. While his army was replenished, he spoke at the funerals of the Jedi who had perished while on a mission with Obi-Wan Kenobi at Ohma D un. He also took part in secret briefings regarding Quinlan Vos top-secret undercover mission to infiltrate Count Dooku s inner circle. Six months after the war began, Mace went on a mission to his home world of Haruun Kal to discover the whereabouts of his former Padawan, Depa Billaba. The pressures of battle mixed with the oppressive toxic jungles during her mission there drove her into madness. Windu was able to locate Billaba and place former ghôsh member Kar Vastor into Republic custody to be tried for war crimes. When he returned to Coruscant, Mace brought Depa with him, though she had lapsed deep into a coma. Later that month, Windu traveled to the planet Null to assist Jedi Master T ra Saa and Padawan Barriss Offee in the full retreat of their forces. The evacuation transformed into a rescue operation when Saa s triage unit was ambushed by a group of bounty hunters from the Crimson Nova Guild who had begun accepting bounties on Jedi from the Confederacy. Accompanied by Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin, Mace headed to the station known as the Rig, which served as the Crimson Nova s headquarters. Openly demanding that the leader of the guild surrender, Windu threatened permanently and forcibly disbanding the guild should she resist arrest. Mace entered a nearby eatery, awaiting the guild leadership s decision, well aware his presence would be the perfect diversion to facilitate his allies covert infiltration of the station. The Jedi were able to incite a riot, and in the chaos took complete control of the Rig. The leader of the Crimson Nova Hunter s Guild, Mika, refused to surrender, and the Jedi had no choice but to take her by force. Two months later, Mace Windu, alongside Master Koon, was dispatched to locate Ziro the Hutt to obtain intelligence related to the shipjacking of the Sedawan committed by Dathomiri Witches in his possession. With the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Mace Windu and Plo Koon were able to gain entrance to Ziro s palace. Windu and his companion were greeted by Asajj Ventress and a pack of MagnaGuards who had been interrogating Ziro for information on Ros Lai. After a brief skirmish, Ventress proved to be no contest for Koon and Windu and fled. Before Ziro could express his gratitude, Ros Lai, who had been hiding in Ziro s palace, revealed herself to the Jedi and agreed to help them in exchange for discreet passage off of Coruscant. Lai provided Mace with datachips containing recorded Separatist communications with the Nightsisters that the Jedi Council quickly had analyzed. Through the combined efforts of Jedi investigations on Christophsis, Dathomir and Rodia, the Jedi Council uncovered the existence of a Force crystal-powered super weapon. Under the control of the Nightsister Sai Sircu, this weapon was mounted on a Confederate Subjucator-class heavy cruiser called the Devastation, and headed for Coruscant. Mace Windu assembled a task force of Jedi who infiltrated the hulking warship to see to its destruction. Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker searched the ship until they found Sai Sircu, who had attuned herself to several massive Force crystals, drastically increasing her connection to the Force. However, through their combined efforts, Anakin and Mace were able to defeat Sai Sircu. Her death fractured the Force-crystals, creating an explosion that set off a chain reaction and destroyed the Devastation. Windu and his companions were able to escape the Devastation. Later that month, at the behest of Senator Orn Free Taa and Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu was sent to free the planet of Ryloth from the clutches of the Confederacy. After Skywalker s fleet was able to punch through the Separatist blockade, Kenobi and Windu landed their forces to liberate the planet. Kenobi was successful in securing southern access to the capital of Lessu, but Windu and his troops encountered much heavier resistance on the northern front. Mace s army was significantly thinned and he was forced to seek the assistance of Twi lek freedom fighters led by the native political activist turned freedom fighter, Cham Syndulla. After some negotiation, Syndulla agreed to help the Republic in their effort to drive the Separatists off of Ryloth. Mace shared command with Syndulla and stormed Lessu, reclaiming the capital and capturing Wat Tambor in the process. Six months after his victory at the Battle of Ryloth, Mace Windu led a successful campaign against the Confederacy on Skor II. Windu was able to beat back the droid forces and free the native Squibs from their oppressors. The Squibs were so enamored with General Windu, that King Ebareebaveebeedee commissioned a bronzium bust of Mace, cast in honor of the Big-time Hero of Beyond Squib-Eliteness. Tales of Windu s deeds were spoken for 40

41 41 Master Windu Battling the Confederacy on Dantooine Genndy Tartakovsky years afterward and the name Mace Windu became popular for Squib newborns for generations to come. As the war reached its thirty-first month, Mace Windu escorted Senator Bail Organa to the Outer Rim to observe the battlefront and the war s impact on the galaxy. When Organa rendezvoused with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi over Maramere, Mace and his allies discovered that Boz Pity was a probable hideout of the Separatist leadership. Windu led a task force comprised of many accomplished Jedi on a dangerous mission to slip past the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet, locate any members of the Separatist leadership, and apprehend them. The RAS Intervention was forced to drop out of hyperspace close to the planet in order to avoid the blockade, and even with Anakin Skywalker at the controls, they reverted too close to the planet and crash-landed on Boz Pity. After evacuating their wrecked ship, Windu s forces quickly located and assaulted the Separatist command center. During the battle, Mace bested General Grievous in combat, and faced Count Dooku, but was unable to apprehend either of them when he was dragged down an embankment by a pair of MangaGuard droids. Though the battle was a victory for the Republic, several prominent Jedi were killed, including Master Adi Gallia. In the final weeks of the war, Mace Windu led an extensive search with several other Jedi to discover the identity and location of the second Sith rumored to have infiltrated the Republic Senate. The investigation took them to an area of Coruscant known as the Works, where the group uncovered evidence that the Sith Lord was linked to 500 Republica a high-class area populated by many senators, dignitaries and the Chancellor himself. Mace was forced to leave the investigation in the hands of Captain Dyne when he was called to defend the capital during General Grievous assault of Coruscant. Unbeknownst to Windu, the investigative team was slaughtered by Darth Sidious shortly after his departure. During the siege on Coruscant, Windu boarded his Jedi Starfighter and engaged several enemy droid starfighters before being shot down, though he refused to be taken out of the fight. Instead, the masterful Windu leapt through the air to land on a droid starfighter, which he was able to sieze control of and ride it like a chariot through the skies of Coruscant, battling the Separatists. Mace was alerted that Grievous had penetrated the Jedi defenses of the Chancellor, and he joined the battle against the droid general on the maglev train, but was unable to stop the cyborg commander from achieving his goal after their epic duel. Mace caught up with Grievous again just as the droid general was making his escape with the Chancellor in his custody. Mace unleashed a crushing telekinetic assault on the general, damaging his vital organs inside the protective shell of his droid body. Grievous limped into his shuttle coughing and hacking, and managed to escape to orbit. Already suspicious of the Chancellor s motives and Skywalker s commitment to the Jedi Code, Windu was frustrated when the Chancellor forced the Jedi to place Anakin on the Jedi High Council as his personal liason after the Chosen One single-handedly rescued him from Grievous. Skywalker was allowed to sit on the Jedi Council in hopes that he could spy on the Chancellor s office and confirm or refute the Jedi s suspicions. Days later, Mace was alerted by Skywalker that Palpatine was indeed the Sith Lord the Jedi sought. Windu reunited the same Jedi

42 Use the Force The following new application for the Use the Force skill may only be used by an existing or former member of the Jedi Order who has been instructed in the ritual. Concordance of Fealty (Trained Only; requires self-built or heirloom lightsaber and one willing participant with a self-built or heirloom lightsaber of their own): An ancient Jedi ritual in which two Jedi entrust their lightsabers to one another. This ritual may be initiated when a Jedi exchanges lightsabers with another Jedi willing to participate. A successful DC 25 Use the Force check allows the Jedi to grant the attunement effects of their lightsabers to each other. This ritualized exchange takes 1 minute to complete. If the skill check fails, the pair may still exchange lightsabers, however, they do not benefit from the gifted lightsaber s attunement effects. When a Jedi uses a lightsaber to which they have been entrusted for a period of at least one standard month, upon returning the lightsaber to its original owner, they may choose to expend a Force Point with a successful DC 40 Use the Force check (the DC decreases by 5 for each additional standard month the lightsaber has been entrusted, with a minimum of DC 20) to enhance the lightsaber s attunement effect as the weapon prospers. When the lightsaber prospers, it gains an heirloom item effect of the participant s choosing. If the lightsaber originally possessed an heirloom item effect, the participant may choose to exchange it for a different effect or grant the lightsaber a second effect that is different from the first. The participant may only bestow the Symbol of Light effect if their Dark Side score is zero. Conversely, the participant can only bestow the Steeped in the Dark Side effect if their Dark Side score is equal to their Wisdom score. The lightsaber cannot possess both the Symbol of Light and the Steeped in the Dark Side effects simultaneously. The Concordance of Fealty can only be performed once on a particular lightsaber. team that he had assembled to assault the Crimson Nova Bounty Hunters Guild in Fisto, Kolar and Tiin to arrest the Chancellor. The Jedi Master sensed much inner turmoil within Skywalker and still, unwilling to fully trust the Chosen One, ordered him to remain at the Jedi temple. Windu and his companions were caught completely off guard by Sidious raw power, and Fisto, Kolar and Tiin were mercilessly struck down with unbelievable speed, leaving Mace to confront the master of the Dark Side alone. The duel waged on until, finally, the Jedi Master managed to gain the upper hand, disarming Palpatine and forcing him to yield. Unexpectedly, Skywalker entered the Chancellor s office, but Mace ordered him to remain back, intent on bringing Sidious to justice. Palpatine unleashed a barrage of Force lightning against Windu, which the Jedi was barely able to defend against. It became clear to Master Windu that the power Palpatine held, both politically and with the Dark Side of the Force, was too great to allow him to live. Briefly succumbing to the seductive nature of the Dark Side, Mace attempted to execute Palpatine, but Skywalker intervened just as Windu was about to perform his coup de grace. Windu s saber hand was severed at the wrist by the young Jedi, which gave Palpatine the opportunity he needed to end the fight. Mace s body was wracked with powerful Sith lightning, and with one mighty telekinetic push, Windu was sent flying out the window of Palpatine s office, where he fell hundreds of meters to his death.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest Jedi of his time and a legendary hero during the Clone Wars. He studied under the masterful hand of Yoda and the likes of many other instructors at the temple. Growing up in the temple, many of the other younglings poked fun at him, calling him names like Oafie-wan because of his clumsy and lanky build as an adolescent. Only his friends Bant Eerin, Siri Tachi and Bruck Chun stood up for Obi- Wan. As he approached his thirteenth birthday, Obi-Wan worried that he might not be chosen by a master and would be forced to join the Agricultural Corps rather than fulfill his dream of becoming a Jedi Knight. After proving himself to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn by confronting Jinn s fallen former apprentice, Xanatos, Obi-Wan Kenobi was taken on as Jinn s Padawan Learner. However, the two had very different views on what made a Jedi; Jinn was considered a maverick within the Jedi Order, while Obi-Wan was much more conservative. During their adventures throughout the galaxy, they would butt heads on several occasions. Once such instance, Obi-Wan willingly abandoned the Jedi Order in order to assist a movement perpetrated by a group known as the Young. The planet of Melida/Dann was on the brink of civil war and the group strived to end that turmoil before it boiled over into outright conflict. Qui-Gon nearly abandoned his Padawan s training, but decided to give Obi-Wan a second chance when he returned from his excursion to Melida/Dann. Together with his master, Obi-Wan established a distinguished career as a Jedi with such efforts as his participation in the Stark Hyperspace

44 Obi-wan Kenobi LucasFilm LTD. War, mediations between the Rutan and Senali monarchies, and assisting the Wookiees in the colonization of Alaris Prime. When Obi-Wan was twenty-five years old, Supreme Chancellor Valorum sent Kenobi and his master to Naboo to reach a settlement with the Trade Federation, which had blockaded the small planet in protest of trade route taxation. However, when the Trade Federation Viceroy tried to have the Jedi killed, Obi-wan and Qui-Gon stowed aboard invasion ships headed for the planet below. Making their way to the Naboo royal palace at Theed, Obi- Wan and his master freed Queen Amidala, ruler of the Naboo, and spirited her away so that she might plead her peoples case to the Senate on Coruscant. During their escape, their ship was damaged and they were forced to limp to a planet in the Outer Rim called Tatooine. There, Obi-Wan stayed behind to guard the ship, while his master went out into a nearby settlement to obtain the replacement parts required to repair the ship. When Qui-Gon returned, he brought with him a nine year old boy named Anakin Skywalker, as well as the attention of a Sith Lord. Kenobi and his companions made a daring escape and headed for Coruscant. The Jedi Council officially assigned Obi-Wan and his master to aide the Queen when she decided to travel back to Naboo to free her people. Inside the Royal Palace in Theed, as battle between the Naboo Security Force and the droid army of the Trade Federation raged around them, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were confronted by the Sith apprentice, Darth Maul. The three engaged in a fierce duel that spanned all throughout the palace s lower levels. During the struggle, Maul achieved the upper hand, separating Obi-Wan from his master and faced Qui-Gon Jinn one-on-one. Maul landed a fatal blow on the Jedi Master and turned to Obi-Wan to finish the fight. The two locked blades, unleashing a fury of strikes against each other and while Maul was the superior duelist, Obi-Wan proved more resourceful than the Sith Lord and cleaved Maul in two. Obi-Wan ran to his fallen master s side, but it was too late to help Qui-Gon. Jinn s final wishes to his Padawan were to train Anakin Skywalker as his own Padawan Learner. Following Qui-Gon Jinn s funeral pyre, Yoda granted Obi-Wan the rank of Jedi Knight and informed him that the Council had overturned their previous judgment to deny Skywalker admission into the Jedi Order and allowed Kenobi to train the boy. Over the next decade, Obi-Wan trained young Skywalker. The two shared such adventures as their excursion to Zonama Sekot, their search for Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor, their brief stay on the Outbound Flight with Master Jorus C Baoth, taking down Krayn s group of slavers, and their journey to Ansion with fellow Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee to settle a border dispute. Over the years, Obi-Wan was forced to take a strict approach with Anakin as his Padawan grew increasingly arrogant, defiant, and impatient. Despite Obi-Wan s best efforts, Anakin s knowledge of his role in the Prophecy of the Chosen One impacted his attitude more so than Obi-Wan s guidance and tutelage. An assassination attempt on Coruscant left the former Queen of Naboo turned Senator, Padmé Amidala, in need of protection. Chancellor Palpatine recommended that Kenobi and Skywalker augment the Senator s already robust security force. Anakin and 44

45 45 Fallen at Geonosis When Mace Windu put out the call to arms to all Jedi located within the Jedi temple, two-hundred and twelve of his brethren responded. Master Windu led this group of Jedi to the arena at Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Jedi saw this as a necessary fight in order to end the Separatist threat before it could begin in earnest. Unfortunately, the Jedi were overwhelmed by the staggering number of battle droids and only a handful of Jedi survived. The following are Jedi Council members who perished at Geonosis. Coleman Trebor: This Vurk Jedi Master was gunned down by the bounty hunter, Jango Fett, when he charged the balcony in an attempt to neutralize Count Dooku Eeth Koth: The gunship carrying Koth was shot down en route to the Republic staging area following the massacre in the Petranaki execution arena on Geonosis. Eeth Koth was a master of the Jedi pain-resisting art of Crucitorn. Obi-Wan prevented another attempt on the senator s life and went after the would-be assassin. The Jedi managed to catch up with the bounty hunter, Zam Wessel, in the depths of Coruscant s lower city in a nightclub called the Outlander. Obi-Wan severed Wessel s gun hand with his lightsaber as she snuck up behind him for the kill. Their questioning of Zam didn t get far when the bounty hunter was silenced by a toxic dart. The toxic dart that killed Zam proved to be a clue in itself, however, leading Obi-Wan to the mysterious world of Kamino outside the Rishii Maze. Landing in Kamino s capital city of Tipoca, Kenobi was given audience with the Prime Minister, Lama Su. Kenobi was informed that the Kaminoans had been producing a clone army for the Republic under the order of long-deceased Jedi Master. Kenobi was introduced to the original donor of the clone DNA, a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Before Kenobi could question Fett properly, the bounty hunter made his escape. Fortunately, Kenobi placed a tracking device on Jango s ship and Obi-Wan followed him to Geonosis. On the barren Geonosian home world, Kenobi discovered an alarming number of Trade Federation, Techno Union, InterGalactic Banking Clan and Commerce Guild vessels. After infiltrating the main compound and navigating a massive droid foundry, Kenobi discovered the former-jedi turned political dissident, Count Dooku meeting with the various corporate leaders. Obi-Wan witnessed their formation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and learned of their intent to wage war against the Republic. Obi-Wan reported his findings back to the Council, but was ambushed and taking prisoner during his transmission. In his prison cell, Obi-Wan was visited by Count Dooku, who attempted to sway Obi-Wan to his cause and informed Obi-Wan that the Senate was being controlled by a Sith Lord. Refusing to believe the Count s claims, Obi-Wan remained in his cell until Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala came to Genosis in a futile attempt to rescue him. The three were sentenced to death and brought to the Geonosian arena. They were forced to battle an array of exotic creatures, but Kenobi and his allies surprised the Count by defeating the beasts rather than perish. Just as they were to be executed by battle droids, some two-hundred Jedi Knights led by Jedi Master Mace Windu plunged into the arena to their aide. The Jedi put forth a valiant effort, but were overcome by the vast numbers of battle droids. As the survivors of the initial barrage were about to be executed, Master Yoda intervened, commanding a massive army of clones from Kamino. The Jedi were plucked from the arena and ferried off to the forward staging area, where a major offensive had been organized against the Separatists. Obi-Wan and Anakin attempted to capture Count Dooku before he could escape Geonosis and rally more systems to his cause, but Dooku was easily able to defeat the Jedi. Obi-Wan and his Padawan were wounded during the duel and would have been killed by Count Dooku had Master Yoda not intervened. As a diversion, Dooku used the Force to topple a gigantic pillar down on Obi-Wan and Anakin, but Yoda broke off his attack and saved the two Jedi, allowing Dooku to escape in the process. Obi-Wan was given a General s rank in the Grand Army of the Republic. His first assignment following Geonosis took place on the planet of Rhen Var. While on a course correction between hyperspace jumps, Obi-Wan and Anakin discovered an invasion force occupying the planet. Obviously out-gunned, Kenobi and Skywalker led mass-evacuations of the world s small populace and were able to successfully extract the majority of the civilians. The Republic couldn t ascertain why the Separatists were interested

46 in the planet, as it held no commodity or strategic advantage, but before Obi-Wan or Anakin could investigate further, they were sent on a scouting mission to Raxus Prime, where the Separatists had invaded. Shortly after their arrival to the refuse world of Raxus Prime, Obi-Wan and Anakin stumbled upon a massive archeological dig being conducted by the Confederacy. The Jedi destroyed three convoys en route to the dig site before calling in their compliment of clone troopers. After successfully stymieing all operations at the site, Anakin located Count Dooku and gave chase, but was promptly captured by Dooku and one of his henchmen. Without his Padawan, Obi-Wan continued to investigate the strange turn of events. Reports surfaced that Anakin was on the Wookiee moon of Alaris Prime and that Dooku had been testing an ancient Sith device called the Force Harvester. Obi-Wan landed on the planet, and with his clone forces, made short work of the Separatist detachment, reclaiming the moon for the Republic. Unfortunately, Dooku was able to escape with the Force Harvester. Obi-Wan and Anakin headed to Rhen Var after learning that the ancient Jedi Knight Ulic Qel-Droma discovered a way to resist the effects of the Force Harvester and hoped to gain some insight from his tomb. Obi-Wan led an assault on the Seperatist fortification on Rhen Var and reclaimed the planet in the name of the Republic. Meanwhile, Anakin entered the tomb of Qel- Droma and learned how to combat the Force Harvester, which was merely a power generator for an even larger sith construct The Dark Reaper. The pair then headed to Thule when the Jedi Council discovered the Dark Reaper was located within an ancient Sith city on the planet. Anakin led an offensive to destroy the planetary shields, which allowed Kenobi and Mace Windu s ground forces the ability to land and begin their assault. Obi- Wan s army was able to cover Anakin long enough for him to confront Dooku s henchman, Cydon Prax, and destroy both the Dark Reaper and the Force Harvester. After foiling an attempted theft of the clone genome by Confederate assassin Zianna D pow, Kenobi remained on Kamino to defend against a pending Separatist attack. Obi-Wan, accompanied by Anakin Skywalker and a group of ace Jedi pilots, waged an aerial defensive against an onslaught of Confederate battle droids led by the rogue Mon Calamari Commander Merai. During the battle, Kenobi s fighter was shot down and he crashlanded into the roaring ocean near Tipoca City where he was quickly attacked by a gigantic sea creature. His Padawan swooped in to rescue him, but only managed to join Obi-Wan floating on the waves. Before long, Obi-Wan and Anakin were picked up by the Kaminoans and then moved to the city to assist Jedi Master Shaak Ti in defending the cloning facilities. The Jedi and the newly activated Advanced Recon Commandos fought against scores of battle droids to protect the third generation of clones from extermination. Obi-Wan, Shaak Ti and Anakin combined their Jedi powers to collapse an entryway to the cloning facility, flooding the corridor with water and separating the Republic forces from the Confederate droids. Kenobi and his allies were safe, cut off from the conflict as the battle continued above the water s surface. In the latter half of the second month of the war, Kenobi and his Padawan accompanied Jedi Master Glaive and Padawan Zule to the Naboo moon of Ohma- Dun. The Gungan leader, Boss Nass, had lost all contact with his people on the lunar colony and the Jedi were sent to investigate the matter. Upon their arrival, Obi- Wan discovered dozens of Gungans slaughtered at the hands of their new adversaries the bounty hunter Durge and the Dark Jedi assassin Asajj Ventress. The Confederate agents unleashed a deadly swamp gas on the Jedi the same used to slaughter the Gungans. As Anakin and clone trooper A-17 attempted to free a group of miners being held captive, Obi-Wan, Glaive and Zule faced Durge and Ventress. Obi-Wan was able to hold his ground against his opponents, but Glaive fell in battle and Zule was mortally wounded. Without the intervention of Skywalker and Alpha, Kenobi might have joined his fallen comrades. The trio succeeded in forcing Durge and Ventress into retreat and prevented them from unleashing the poisonous gas on Naboo. Following the events on Ohma-D un, Obi-Wan joined with Jedi Masters Fay, Jon Antilles, Knol Ven nari and Nico Diath on the volcanic world of Queyta, where the chemical weapon used on the Gungan colony was being manufactured. Kenobi set out to obtain an antidote for the biological agent and the strike team of Jedi moved on the mobile facility. After sneaking into the automated complex, the Jedi encountered Asajj Ventress and 46

47 47 Durge. The two sinister minions of Dooku proved too formidable for the Jedi and managed to slay Obi-Wan s comrades, but Kenobi escaped and was able to deliver the antidote safely into the hands of the Jedi Council. As the second month of the war came to a close, Obi-Wan and Anakin were assigned to the Outer Rim world of Jabiim to assist the loyalist guerilla forces against the Confederate-allied Jabiimite tyrant Alto Stratus. Only two weeks into the conflict, Republic forces were spread thin and severely hampered by the turbulent weather conditions common to Jabiim. Stratus ambushed the Republic base camp and destroyed the few walkers not mired in mud. Obi-Wan and Alpha attempted to evacuate the surviving troops from a downed AT-AT when it was rocked with an explosion. The Republic believed Kenobi had been killed in action. Obi-Wan and Alpha were actually blown clear of the blast and knocked unconscious. They were taken prisoner and ferried to Asajj Ventress home world of Rattatak. Obi-Wan was fitted with a Sith Torture Mask that severely disrupted his Force-using abilities. For four weeks, Ventress tortured them both, trying to extract enemy intelligence, but received no information from either captive. Kenobi summoned enough strength to telekinetically burst a nearby water pipe to short out their manacles and escape their prison cell. Kenobi freed all the other prisoners in the dungeon and escaped with Alpha in a Fanblade starfighter stolen from Ventress landing platform. The two were pursued by Ventress minions and crash-landed on the planet Riflor. On the volcanic planet they were ambushed by bounty hunters attempting to collect a price on the heads of any Jedi. Kenobi and Alpha managed to stay alive long enough to be rescued by Anakin Skywalker and Ki-Adi Mundi. The group escaped back to Coruscant where Kenobi was officially reinstated as Anakin s master and debriefed on his ordeal. Obi-Wan was recovering on Coruscant at the start of the fourth month of the Clone Wars when the Separatists attacked the capital for the first time. The Confederacy attacked the lower levels of the city in a diversionary tactic to allow Dooku and his minion, Trenox, an opportunity to destroy the Jedi Archives inside the temple. Obi-Wan and Anakin were able to thwart the devious plan, but were once again unable to capture the Separatist leader. Obi-Wan squared off with the Count as he made his escape, but Obi-Wan s injuries proved to be too much for Kenobi, and Dooku got the better of him, allowing the Count to escape. After Kenobi recovered from his injuries, he and Anakin were dispatched to Muunilist, the Intergalactic Banking Clan home world. The Republic engineered a massive campaign in order to shut down the Separatist faction and capture the Banking Clan Chairman, San Hill. Obi-Wan led the ground assault while Anakin commanded the space battle above. During their bombardment of the planet s capital of Harnaidan, the bounty hunter Durge emerged once more, leading an army of lance-wielding assassin droids on speeder bikes. Kenobi and his men rode out to meet their adversary, and after an intense face-off with the Gen dai bounty hunter, Kenobi managed to temporarily subdue Durge and press his army forward into the city. Rendezvousing with the ARC troopers who disabled the Banking Clan s massive artillery cannons, Obi-Wan led the operation to smash the Separatist command center and capture its leaders. The Muuns were easily taken prisoner, but Durge Genndy Tartakovsky General Kenobi briefs a unit of ARC Troopers

48 resurfaced once more to combat Kenobi. The bounty hunter managed to envelop Kenobi inside his formless body while he fought off the ARC troopers to free the Muunilist leaders, but Kenobi outsmarted Durge once more by telekinetically bursting his way free, scattering bits of Durge all over the command center. San Hill was quickly placed into custody and the droid forces were disabled. Kenobi was able to secure a major victory for the Republic. Days following the triumph at Muunilist, Kenobi and Skywalker stumbled upon the Confederacy s new Storm Fleet near the Llon Nebulae and managed to delay its movement to sack Cyphar long enough for the Republic to prepare. Kenobi and his Padawan spent the remainder of the month engineering victories on Zaadja, Nivek and Terra Sool. When Anakin Skywalker was granted the title of Jedi Knight at the close of the fourth month of the war, Kenobi was awarded the rank of Jedi Master. Skywalker continued to serve under Kenobi s command in the Open Circle Fleet. Two months later, Kenobi filled the vacant seat on the Jedi High Council left by Depa Billaba amidst a vast reorganization of the Grand Army. Marshal Clone Commander CC-2224, nicknamed Cody, was assigned to Kenobi to serve as battle commander and liaison to the clone troop rank and file. Following a sound victory at Farquar III in the sixth month of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan was dispatched to Dagro on a reconnaissance mission. Unfortunately, Kenobi was attacked by Separatist fighters and shot down. When he regained consciousness, he found himself on a small family farm. Four days later, the Confederacy managed to track the Jedi down and sent battle droids to take him into custody. Anakin Skywalker showed up just in time to assist his master in shaking off his captors. They learned of a Separatist facility buried within a ravine near the village. Obi-Wan and Anakin entered the facility and were spotted by Neimoidian soldiers and was promptly met with force. While they struggled to survive, the R3 droid recovered from Obi-Wan s impounded starfighter obtained information on a new Separatist weapon being produced at the base. During their escape, a stray blaster bolt set off an explosion that leveled the entire facility. Upon their return to Coruscant, the Jedi were contacted by former Jedi-turned-pirate Lorian Nod with information that Dooku intended to hold a conference with the leaders of the planet Null in the coming days. Obi-Wan and Anakin were sent to capture the Count. During their mission, the Delaluna leader was assassinated, prompting Kenobi and Skywalker to investigate, they soon learned Dooku had been plotting to murder all of Null s coalition leaders at the summit. With the help of Lorian Nod, Kenobi and Skywalker were able to foil the Count s plans, but Dooku succeeded in escaping once more. Next, Obi-Wan was placed on a mission to Genian with Anakin Skywalker, Siri Tachi and Padme Amidala to locate a slicer named Talesan Fry who had created a powerful code-breaking device. The codebreaker was capable of decrypting shielded communications with ease and thus was coveted by both the Confederacy and the Republic. After meeting with Fry, Kenobi and his companions escorted Talesan to Azure to be placed in the charge of General Solomahal. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, the code breaker had a tracking device hidden within it and they were tailed by a group of bounty hunters led by a man in league with the Separatists named Magus. Obi-Wan and Siri took command of the ground forces to defend the Republic garrison, but were forced to come to Amidala s aid when her courier ship was shot down trying to escape the conflict. Siri Tachi, whom Obi-Wan had once briefly had a romantic interlude with, was gravely wounded during the battle and died in Obi-Wan s arms. Seven months after the Clone Wars began, while en route to his next mission at Rendili, Obi-Wan answered a Jedi distress beacon coming from a derelict Mycroft vessel, the Titavian IV. After boarding the vessel to investigate, he discovered the renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos fighting off MORP droids. When Obi- Wan stepped in to assist, he quickly learned that Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress and Tol Skor were onboard hunting Vos. After battling a frenzied bull rancor and the Dark Jedi, Vos destroyed Kenobi s starfighter and the two Jedi fled in Quinlan Vos transport, stranding Dooku s dark agents on the abandoned craft. Kenobi and Vos made their way to Rendili, where Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin had been dealing with the Rendili Home Fleet s threat of defection to the Confederacy. When negotiations went sour, Obi-Wan and Quinlan stormed the Rendili flagship and freed their comrades from the mutineers, then assisted in reclaiming the Rendili flagship. Together, the loyalist Rendili ships and the Republic warships combined forces to defeat 48

49 49 the Confederate fleet and reclaim Rendili for the Republic. Obi-Wan was next sent to Ord Cestus with Jedi Master Kit Fisto. Ord Cestus was a prison turned mining colony and manufacturing hub. The natives to the planet, the X Ting, produced a variety of battle droids before the war and the bans that were instated due to the galaxy-wide conflict had severely impacted the Cestian economy. The X Ting had begun supplying specialized droids dubbed Jedi Killers to the Confederacy. Kenobi learned that the Five Families who controlled Ord Cestus were working with Asajj Ventress to implicate the Republic in falsely persecuting an otherwise peaceful world. Kenobi and Fisto were captured and imprisoned by Ventress as she set out to complete her task, but clone troopers serving under the Jedi liberated them and together they dismantled the manufacturing facility where the Jedi Killers were built. Kenobi squared off with Ventress, but was outmatched. Had it not been for the heroic efforts of Master Fisto, Kenobi might have perished at the hands of the Dark Jedi assassin. Together, Fisto and Kenobi brought the Five Families plot with the Confederacy to light and succeeded in protecting Ord Cestus inhabitants from occupation by the Separatists. Obi-Wan was then paired with Anakin Skywalker to liberate the people of Christophsis from Separatist occupation. After monitoring troop movement for several days, Obi-Wan and Anakin planned to ambush the Confederate battle droids in a bottleneck between two buildings during their patrols. The Separatists had been tipped off to the surprise attack, however, and ambushed Kenobi and his forces instead. After barely escaping the counterattack, Kenobi and his command staff concluded they had a traitor in their ranks. Obi-Wan and Anakin made their way behind enemy lines in hopes of uncovering some information that would lead them to the spy and quickly realized they were walking into a trap. Inside the Separatist headquarters they were confronted by Asajj Ventress, and barely managed to escape her army of battle droids. When Kenobi and Skywalker returned to their base camp, they found it in ruins as the traitor, a clone trooper nicknamed Slick, had destroyed their weapons depot. With a massive army of battle droids marching on their location, reinforcements cut off, and only heavy artillery cannons at their disposal, Kenobi and his forces made their stand. When Republic forces were overwhelmed and forced to pull back, Obi- Wan stalled the Separatist advance by staging a mock-surrender and talks with Confederate General Whorm Loathsom regarding their terms. Meanwhile, Anakin and his new Padawan, Ahsoka, snuck behind the enemy line to disable their shield generator. When Skywalker succeeded, Kenobi quickly apprehended Loathsom and forced him to order his troops to stand down. Obi-Wan was then sent to Tatooine to negotiate the Republic s use of hyperlanes within Hutt Space in exchange for assisting the gangster, Jabba the Hutt, in the rescue of his kidnapped son, Rotta. During his conciliation, Kenobi was contacted by Anakin Skywalker to aide in the Huttling s safe return when Confederate treachery came to light. Obi-Wan confronted Asajj Ventress and prevented her from executing Anakin s clone adjutant, Captain Rex. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka managed to return Rotta safely to his corpulous parent, and with the help of Senator Amidala, they secured the navigational data and rights to use Hutt Space shipping lanes for the Republic. Following his diplomatic mission on Tatooine, Obi-Wan returned to Coruscant, where received intelligence of an impending attack on Bothawui. While en route to deliver this information, Kenobi was caught in a terrorist explosion and sustained serious injuries, though he was able to successfully deliver the vital information to the Jedi Council. Following his recovery, Obi-Wan was called on by Senator Organa to assist in the investigation of a Sith threat, and Kenobi devoted his efforts to discovering the menace. Their search brought them to the planet Zigoola, where the intense permeation of the Dark Side caused Kenobi to crash their transport during their approach. Nursing a wounded leg, Kenobi was assisted by Organa in their trek across the harsh landscape to an ancient Sith temple where a nearly-sentient Sith artifact resided. Obi-Wan fought the heavy influence of the Dark Side and managed to use the artifact to exponentially amplify his telepathic powers in order to contact Master Yoda who came to Kenobi and Organa s rescue. Obi-Wan led his fleet to the defense of the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center when it was attacked by the Separatist superweapon, the battle cruiser Malevolence. Skywalker and his fighter squadrons had already put Grievous on the run, and Kenobi saw to it that the ship was destroyed. Unfortunately, Senator Amidala was duped into capture and Kenobi s fleet was forced to cease

50 The Negotiator engaging in some aggressive negotiation LucasFilm LTD. their assault. Obi-Wan and Anakin snuck onboard the failing warship to rescue the Senator, and managed to sabotage the hyperdrive, forcing the Malevolence to crash-land into a nearby moon. As the war continued through its seventh month, Obi-Wan and Anakin s fleet suffered defeat at the hands of the Separatists over Nexus Ortai. The Jedi Council discovered a massive Banking Clan shipyard on the planet Gwori and Obi-Wan and Anakin were sent to sabotage the facilities. After sneaking into the droid-only system by encasing themselves in carbonite, Obi-Wan and Anakin located the shipyards only to discover they were manned by slaves. Kenobi and Skywalker were captured and put to work with the rest of the slaves, but managed to convince the laborers to revolt against Confederate Overseer Juhm. The Jedi were able to escape with the slaves, allowing Jedi Master Plo Koon to launch a successful airstrike on the shipyard. As the seventh month of the war came to a close, Obi-Wan and Anakin led their forces to liberate the Togruta colonists of Kiros from the Confederacy. Kenobi engaged in one-on-one combat with the Separatist s commander, Xerius Ugg, and succeeded in subduing the Besalisk. Under Kenobi s leadership, the Republic was able to score a quick victory; unfortunately the inhabitants of the planet had vanished. During their search, Obi-Wan and his companions learned that the colonists of Kiros had been captured by Zygerrian slavers to be sold in the Grand Auction. Posing as slave traders, Obi-Wan and Anakin infiltrated the Zygerrian capital. Obi-Wan snuck beneath the Zygerrian palace through the catacombs to search for the colonists, but was discovered and captured. When Anakin tried to save his former master, the Zygerrians succeeded in capturing them both. Kenobi and Rex were sent to a slave processing facility on Kadavo with the Togruta colonists of Kiros. Obi-Wan toiled away with the other slaves until Skywalker and Tano came to their rescue. As Skywalker and his forces laid siege to the slaving complex, Obi-Wan and Rex were able to restrain the facility s warden and free the slaves. Unfortunately, the Separatists arrived to destroy any evidence of their involvement in the enslavement of the Kiros colonists and they bombed the compound. Obi-Wan and his comrades were able to load the slaves onto passenger transports while Plo Koon beat back the Confederate fighters. Together, Obi-Wan and the Republic were able to return the Togruta of Kiros to their home. 50

51 51 In the following month, Obi-Wan infiltrated Count Dooku s personal frigate to rescue Anakin Skywalker, who had allowed himself to be captured to locate the Separatist leader. Together, they confronted Dooku, but the sly Count was able to escape to his personal transport. Obi-Wan and Anakin gave chase in a stolen Neimoidian transport, but both Dooku and the Jedi were shot down and crash landed on Vanqor. Kenobi and Skywalker tracked Dooku to a cave where they were trapped when Dooku collapsed the mouth of the cavern. Inside, they were forced to defend themselves against a pack of gundarks and nearly succumbed to poison gas present inside the cave before being saved by Ahsoka Tano. While they had been trapped inside the cave, Dooku had been captured by space pirates hoping to ransom him off to whoever would pay the most. Obi-Wan and Anakin were sent to the pirate base on Florrum on behalf of the Republic to ascertain whether the pirates truly had Dooku in their custody. After verifying Dooku s identity and authorizing Coruscant to send the payment, the pirate leader, Hondo Ohnaka, double-crossed Obi-Wan and his former apprentice and had them drugged and imprisoned. When Kenobi awoke, he shared a cell with Anakin and Dooku. The trio made several escape attempts before the Republic contingent arrived with the payment. Fortunately, the bumbling Representative Jar Jar Binks was a member of the diplomatic team and inadvertently disabled the pirate base s power. In the confusion, Dooku managed to escape, while Obi-Wan and Anakin took Hondo captive and Republic forces stormed the compound. Obi-Wan agreed to not take Hondo and his men into custody, but warned Ohnaka that Dooku would not be so forgiving. Obi-Wan s next mission saw him and Anakin on the icy world of Orto Plutonia in Pantoran space. They investigated the loss of communications with a Republic outpost and discovered the inhabitants had been slaughtered. Kenobi and his men soon discovered that the attacks were the handiwork of a primitive tribe of Talz inadvertently abandoned on Orto Plutonia long ago. Obi- Wan managed to negotiate a tenuous peace between Republic troops and the Talz tribe, but the arrogant Pantoran chairman insisted the Talz were beasts and forced their hand into outright conflict. Obi-Wan and Senator Riyo Chuchi pleaded with the Pantoran Assembly and overruled the Chairman, allowing them to usher a truce with the Talz and put an end to bloodshed. Following the liberation of the swampy world of Queel at the hands of Kenobi and his forces, Obi-Wan and Anakin were tasked with tracking an assailant to Rodia following an attack on a Jedi cargo vessel carrying lightsaber crystals. However, their gunship was shot down on approach by battle droids occupying the city. The Jedi were forced to sneak inside the city and disable the shield generator to allow their troops to march against the enemy. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan and Anakin lost the signal from the tracking device before they could locate the culprit. The criminal made herself known, and assaulted Kenobi and Skywalker. The Jedi proved too much for her, however, and she fled. The Dathomiri Nightsister failed to evade them for long, as Obi-Wan and Anakin eavesdropped on her conversing with the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, regarding their plans to charge the stolen crystals with Force energy to use as a manner of weapon. The Nightsister noticed the Jedi and fled once more, eluding capture. When Senator Amidala disappeared investigating the theft of the crystals and the disappearance of Luminara Unduli, Obi- Wan and Anakin headed to Christophsis to find her. During their search, they stumbled upon Count Dooku imbuing Force crystals similar to the Nightsister s operation on Rodia as well as plans for a cruiser fitted with a massive super-weapon powered by these crystals. The Count managed to outsmart them, though, and escaped. However, Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to rescue Senator Amidala from the clutches of the Confederacy. Shortly after the discovery of its existence, the Confederate battle cruiser Devastation was found on a course for Coruscant. Obi-Wan paired with Kit Fisto and a group of other prominent Jedi to sneak onboard the massive vessel in an attempt to stop it from reaching its target. Though the nefarious Count Dooku tried to stop them, Kenobi and Fisto managed to locate and disable the main generator supplying power to the ship s weapons. Through the combined efforts of Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi task force, the Devastation was destroyed and Coruscant was saved once more. Days after the Devastation debacle, Obi-Wan and Anakin were called to Naboo to investigate the existence of a secret Separatist laboratory hidden beneath the Eastern Swamps. The Jedi soon learned that a mad scientist named Nuvo Vindi had

52 been manufacturing a weaponized strain of the deadly Blue Shadow virus for the Confederacy to use against the Republic. Obi-Wan devised a plan to gain access to the underground lab, and once inside, Kenobi located and neutralized the virus-filled bombs. Dr. Vindi attempted to make his escape, but Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to stop him from leaving the planet and placed him in Republic custody. An assistant droid managed to escape with a single virus bomb, however, and detonated it inside the laboratory with Ahsoka, Padmé and Rex sealed inside. At Theed, Captain Typho determined that an extract from the roots of a rare plant called Reeksa may be a possible cure for the Blue Shadow Virus. Therefore, Obi-Wan and Anakin traveled to the only known location for Reeksa the planet of a thousand moons, Iego. At the advice of a native boy named Jaybo Hood, Kenobi and Skywalker made their way down a deep ravine to reach the Reeksa root, battling giant, carnivorous plants and flying xandu. The Jedi succeeded in obtaining the root, but were trapped on the planet by what the inhabitants superstitiously believed was Iego s phantom ruler, Drol. In reality, a Confederate energy-grid defense network orbited the planet to prevent departure from the system. Using Jaybo s repurposed vulture droids, Obi-Wan and Anakin were able to destroy the defense grid, freeing the stranded inhabitants of Iego. The Jedi made their way back to Naboo with the Reeksa root and were able to save their friends and all of Naboo. With the threat of the Blue Shadow Virus eliminated, Kenobi was assigned to aide the Twi leks of Ryloth with Generals Skywalker and Windu. The commodity ryll spice drew the attention of the Confederacy to Ryloth, so the Separatists invaded the planet and enslaved its population. After Skywalker s fleet cleared orbit for Kenobi and Windu s troops to move in, Obi-Wan led an advance company to disable the anti-air cannons preventing the troop carriers from landing on the planet s surface. Despite the tactical droid commander s beliefs that he could anticipate Kenobi s tactics, Obi-Wan and his men managed to charge the emplacements fortified position, free the Twi leks being used to protect the cannons, and destroy the weapons. Kenobi and Ghost Company s efforts paved the way for Mace Windu and his army to launch a full assault and release Ryloth from Confederate control. In the ninth month of the war, following successful campaigns at Balamak and Kothlis, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka made their way to Taloraan to negotiate a trade agreement with the Denfrandi Tibanna gas miners. The talks proceeded favorably, but the Taloraan Magistrar was secretly in league with Count Dooku, and upon discovering this, Confederate war droids and undercover agents tried to have Kenobi and his companions killed. Due to atmospheric interference, Obi-Wan and his comrades were unable to call for reinforcements or warn Admiral Yularen of an impending sneak attack and so they made an attempt to flee the city. However, Obi-wan s shuttle was destroyed by an explosive device, and he and Anakin were caught in the shockwave and knocked unconscious. The emissary to the Magistrar felt betrayed by his superior s allegiance with Count Dooku. Therefore, he freed Obi-Wan and Anakin and helped Obi-Wan and Anakin infiltrate the city s communications tower to get a message through to the Resolute. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka battled Confederate droids while the citizens of Taloraan fought off agents of Count Dooku and drove the Confederacy from Taloraan. After the conflict had subsided, Obi-Wan was able to successfully broker a deal with the Denfrandi for Tibanna gas rights on behalf of the Republic. Twenty months into the galactic conflict, Obi-Wan and Anakin were dispatched to Virujansi. The Separatists had occupied the planet and the Republic was sent to eliminate the droid army that was being stored there. Obi-Wan led the ground forces while Anakin flew a combat air patrol. Without their air support, Obi-Wan marched on the Separatist forces and the Gossam Commandos, utterly defeated them and secured yet another victory for the Republic. Obi-Wan was aptly nicknamed The Negotiator by the HoloNet News anchors. This moniker caught on in the public eye and as the war progressed, and he and his former Padawan saw more and more coverage from the Holonews. In the thirtieth month of the war, after successfully routing enemy forces from Sarrish, Obi-Wan was sent to Arkania in the colonies to force back a Confederate assault. He and his companions were successful in rallying captured Republic troops and Jedi back into the fight which turned the tide and won the day. Unfortunately, he could not convince Arkanian Jedi Knight Serifa Altunen from turning her back on the Jedi Order and abandoning her post. Despite his reputation as the negotiator, he 52

53 53 General Kenobi LucasFilm LTD. was also unable to sway the minds of the Arkanian government from seceding from the Republic and declaring neutrality. En route to Coruscant, Obi-Wan received a message from Mace Windu and Chancellor Palpatine that Jedi Master Yoda was being led into a trap on Vjun. Kenobi and Skywalker sped to the planet to come to his aide, and were met by Asajj Ventress upon their arrival. After scaring off the Dark Side witch, Obi-Wan and Anakin stormed the Malreaux estate where Yoda had been engaged in peace talks with Count Dooku. The meeting turned out to be genuine, and Kenobi and Skywalker s presence only served to sow distrust between Dooku and Yoda and continue the war. In the month following the debacle on Vjun, Obi-Wan and Anakin complimented Yoda s army on a desolate world. During a scouting mission they were ambushed by a group of bounty hunters hoping they could collect on a Separatist contract. Cornered in Death Canyon, they were forced to seek refuge in an abandoned garage where they stumbled upon an old hotrod speeder. Kenobi and Skywalkwer were pursued while using the classic speeder to make their escape through Thunder Road. Due to considerable prowess with his lightsaber and Skywalker s piloting, the pair was able to escape the hunters and rendezvous with Master Yoda. While his comrade and former apprentice was on shore leave, Obi-Wan began investigating the supposed death of Asajj Ventress, and became convinced she still lived. He found evidence to lend credence to his suspicions through his interrogation of the Black Sun Enforcer Xist on the planet Trigalis. Obtaining the assistance of Anakin Skywalker and acting on Xist s information, Obi-Wan headed to Maramere, where they encountered a drifting transport swarming with battle droids. Obi-Wan and Anakin gained entrance to the ship and fell into a trap set by the bounty hunter Durge. The crazed Gen Dai confronted the Jedi but was unable to deter Kenobi and Skywalker from their mission. While Anakin dispatched the Separatist, Kenobi obtained the droid brain of Durge s pilot. After analyzing the information in the droid s brain onboard the battle cruiser Intervention, Kenobi and his companions made their way to the graveyard planet of Boz Pity, where Ventress was believed to be located. In order to avoid a Separatist blockade, the Republic warship was forced to drop out of hyperspace too close to the planet and crash-landed as a result. On the ground, Obi-Wan led an assault on the Separatist compound and quickly discovered Ventress in the medical facility recovering in a bacta tank. Stunned by this revelation, Kenobi was easily ambushed by Count Dooku and his MagnaGuards. The Count awoke Ventress, who immediately flew into a rage and attacked Obi-Wan. Amidst the sprawling duel, Dooku fled the battlefield and had Ventress shot. Kenobi

54 attempted to save her, convinced she could be pulled away from the Dark Side, but was nearly killed by the vengeful witch. Skywalker stepped in to save Kenobi, striking Ventress down. Only then did Kenobi realize that Ventress had been a lost cause all along. Days after the Battle of Boz Pity, Obi-Wan and Anakin hurried to Ruhe with a small contingent of clone troopers, hot on the trail of Count Dooku. Their gunship was shot down by vulture droids, and the Jedi were forced to make the trek to Dooku s citadel on foot. Obi-Wan and Anakin easily gained access to the facility and confronted Dooku, but the Count had been anticipating their arrival and met them with an entire platoon of battle droids. Kenobi and Skywalker were forced to retreat, once again missing an opportunity to capture Count Dooku and put an end to the war. Kenobi and Skywalkwer s next assignment placed them in the Outer Rim, assaulting a Separatist-controlled city. The Confederates fortified their position by raising a vast energy shield and Kenobi s forces bombarded its defenses for nearly a month to no avail. When Anakin located a passageway into the city through the sewer system, Kenobi quickly agreed to accompany him in a mission to disable the shield generator. Although the shield complex was well-guarded, Kenobi used his ingenuity to destroy the shield generator in an almost effortless manner. With the shield down, Commander Cody and his troops promptly stormed and claimed the city for the Republic, three months ahead of schedule. Three months later, in the thirty-fifth month of the war, Obi-Wan and Anakin were deployed on Cato Neimoidia when Republic Intelligence learned that the Trade Federation Viceroy, Nute Gunray, was hiding there. Kenobi led a massive campaign in attempt to capture the Viceroy, but the slimy Gunray managed to elude capture. However, Obi-Wan managed to find a holotransciever attached to a mechno-chair that contained trace images of Darth Sidious. The Jedi Council quickly tasked Obi-Wan and Anakin with investigating the origins of the custom-made device. Their search led them all over the galaxy but eventually brought them to the LiMerge Power Company on Tythe where they once again stumbled upon Count Dooku. With the warship Integrity leading a major offensive on Tythe, Obi-Wan and Anakin dedicated their efforts to capturing Dooku. As usual, however, the Count was one step ahead of Kenobi and set a trap for Obi- Wan and Anakin. Kenobi and Skywalker were forced to deal with scores of battle droids as Dooku took his leave. Upon returning to his fleet, Kenobi s personnel had calculated the hyperspace trajectory of Dooku s escape. They hurried to the planet of Nelvaan, where Dooku s trail ran cold, but the Jedi were able to liberate the tribal Nelvaan from the treachery of the Techno Union. Upon leaving Nelvaan, Kenobi s fleet received a distress call that informed them of an overwhelming assault currently underway at Coruscant. They raced back to the capital to help defend the planet. Obi-Wan and Anakin led a wing of ARC-170 fighters in the battle. Kenobi and Skywalker managed to board General Grievous flagship, the Invisible Hand, and made their way to the main observation spire to rescue Chancellor Palpatine. After locating the Chancellor, the Jedi were confronted by Count Dooku. Once more, Obi-Wan and Anakin faced off with the Sith, but Obi-Wan was bested again by Count Dooku and knocked unconscious. Kenobi was scooped up by Skywalker and the Jedi Master regained consciousness during their escape, but Obi-Wan, Palpatine and Anakin were captured en route to the hangar bay and brought to General Grievous on the bridge. The Jedi freed themselves from their shackles and quickly took control of the bridge. Grievous shattered the view port of the command deck and escaped. Fortunately, Obi-Wan and his companions managed to escape the vacuum of space and took control of the severely damaged vessel, forcing it into a controlled crash landing on an emergency runway on the surface below. When the Republic intercepted a Separatist transmission revealing the location of General Grievous, Obi-Wan was sent to dispatch the droid general. He traveled to Utapau ahead of his fleet to consult with the Utapauan Port Administrator, Tion Medon, where he learned that Utapau had been occupied by the Confederacy. Obi-Wan located and confronted General Grievous, but the mechanized Kalee was no match for the Jedi Master. Grievous attempted to escape on his wheel-bike and Obi-Wan gave chase, cornering him at Grievous private landing platform. Though Grievous gained the upper hand, Kenobi was able to defeat the Confederate leader, blasting the General with his own sidearm. Obi-Wan returned to Commander Cody to finish the 54

55 55 battle, but the Jedi was assaulted by his own men and plunged into the lake bed below the sinkhole city. Kenobi was able to sneak back up to General Grievous starfighter and escape Utapau and his traitorous clone army. Senator Bail Organa managed to make contact with Obi-Wan and the two rendezvoused in deep space. Obi-Wan learned that clones all over the galaxy were betraying their Jedi commanders, and that Master Yoda too escaped an untimely death. Senator Organa informed the Jedi of the events that unfolded on Coruscant and of a distress beacon being broadcast from the Jedi Temple informing the Jedi to return to Coruscant because the war was over. They quickly deduced that it was a trap and headed to Coruscant to disable the beacon to spare the lives of what Jedi remained. Obi-Wan and Yoda moved on the steps of the Jedi Temple, infiltrated the ruins and found hundreds of slaughtered Jedi littering its halls. After altering the distress beacon to warn surviving Jedi away, Obi-Wan watched the Temple s security video and discovered his former Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, had led a contingent of clone troopers on an assault of the Temple, killing the Jedi at the behest of Chancellor Palpatine. Yoda and Obi-Wan agreed that the Sith needed to be stopped, and Obi-Wan was tasked with eliminating Anakin, now Darth Vader. Kenobi visited Senator Padmé Amidala, whom he knew had a strong personal relationship with Anakin. During his visit he learned that Padmé was pregnant, Anakin was the father, and the two had been married for over three years. Padmé s loyalty to Anakin was unwavering and she refused to divulge his whereabouts to Obi-Wan. When Amidala hastily departed Coruscant, Obi-Wan stowed aboard her ship, confident she would lead him to his fallen apprentice. Touching down on the volcanic world of Mustafar, Obi-Wan confronted Darth Vader and the former friends became entwined in a spectacular duel that spanned the entirety of the sprawling smelting complex. Their battle led them out to nearly every gantry and platform in the facility and their duel eventually caused the malfunction of the automated controls. The shields protecting the processing plant from the searing hot temperatures of the lava river below gave way and the compound began to fall apart. Completely oblivious to the destruction around them, Kenobi and Vader stayed locked in combat until Kenobi gained the upper hand. Enraged, Anakin lunged at his former master and Kenobi struck, severing Vader s arm and legs and watched him slip down to the bank of the lava flow. The heat from the lava ignited the Sith s clothing and within seconds he was burned to a crisp. Obi-Wan retrieved Anakin s lightsaber and made his way for Padmé s ship where See-Threepio and Artoo-Deetoo had loaded the unconscious Senator into the ship and were waiting for Kenobi as he approached. Onboard Padmé s courier vessel he mourned the loss of his friend. Arriving at the Polis Massa medical center, Obi-Wan rushed Padmé to the infirmary to seek treatment for the wounds inflicted on her by her husband. Despite their every effort, they were unable to save Amidala s life, and she died while giving birth to the Skywalker twins. Bail Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda sat in conference trying to devise a solution for the fate of the twins. Kenobi agreed to return to Tatooine with the boy, Luke, to live with his family under the watchful eye of Jedi Master. Before taking up his hermitage on Dagobah, Yoda informed Kenobi that his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn, had accomplished a technique he learned from the Shaman of the Whills and had successfully retained his individuality from the Force after death. Jinn imparted Yoda with this knowledge and Master Jinn began to tutor Obi-Wan in the skill as well. Obi-Wan remained in solitude on Tatooine for almost twenty years. He assumed the name Ben Kenobi and became known to the moisture farmers in the outlying areas as a strange old hermit. At a distance, he watched over Luke. When the young Skywalker was eighteen years old, his family came into the possession of Artoo-Deetoo and See-Threepio, which set Luke s destiny in motion. While out in the Jundland Wastes, Luke was rescued from Tusken Raiders by Ben Kenobi and the details of his father s history began to unfold under Kenobi s narration. Answering the desperate call for help from Princess Leia Organa, Kenobi, Skywalker and the two droids headed to Mos Eisley to charter transportation to Alderaan. Contracting the services of the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca, Obi-Wan and Luke made their way to Alderaan. When they arrived, Kenobi and his companions learned that Alderaan had been destroyed and they were quickly captured

56 and brought onboard the Imperial battle station, the Death Star. Using secret compartments on Solo s ship, the group managed to elude capture. Kenobi covertly made his way to the power generator controlling the station s tractor beam system and disabled it, allowing him and his companions to escape. On his way back to Solo s ship, he was confronted by Darth Vader and the two battled once more. This time, unfortunately, Vader was the stronger opponent. Sure that he could not defeat the Sith Lord, Kenobi opened himself to the Force and vanished, becoming one with the mystical energy field. As a luminous being, Obi-Wan continued to provide guidance to Luke Skywalker in his struggle against the Empire for years to come. Five years after the fall of the Empire and Luke s ascension to the first of the new Jedi Knights, Kenobi said his final goodbyes and became one with the Force forever.

Oppo Rancisis This Thisspiasian Jedi Master was born to the Blood Monarch of Thisspias nearly two centuries before the Clone Wars began. Shortly after his birth, he was discovered to have a connection to the Force. The Blood Monarch offered her child to the Jedi Temple for training in hopes that one day he would return to his home world to assume the throne, made a stronger leader by the Jedi tutelage. Twenty years into his life, terrorists infiltrated the Thisspiasian alcazar on the planet of Ratamesh and murdered his sister the only sibling to have senior lineage to the throne of Thisspias. By the process of elimination, Oppo had inherited the throne. His Jedi training took all too well, however, as Oppo LucasFilm LTD. Oppo Rancisis chose to remain loyal to the Jedi Order and refused his birthright, passing the throne to a younger sibling. During his training, Oppo was apprenticed to the miniscule Jedi Master Yaddle. Under her guidance, Rancisis became a master of the rare art of Malacia. He went on to become a 58

59 59 great Jedi Master, teaching the unorthodox technique in the Jedi temple on Coruscant to other Jedi for over two decades. However, Oppo s true talent was as a military strategist; his keen insight and battle meditation allowed the Jedi to achieve victory in the Stark Hyperspace War and many other conflicts. Because of his deep connection to the Force, he was appointed a life-time seat on the Jedi Council. When the Clone Wars began, Oppo was a valuable asset to the Republic. He planned the battle strategy implemented by General Obi-Wan Kenobi to save Kamino from the Separatist attack instructing Kenobi to position the invaders in a manner that would pinch them between the defending forces and reinforcements that were inbound. He also provided insight to the tactics used at Parcellus Minor, among dozens of other conflicts. When Rancisis was assigned to lead an assault on the Techno Union stronghold planet of Saleucami in the thirtieth month of the war, he appointed Quinlan Vos as his second-in-command. To perform his battle meditation effectively, Rancisis did not take a direct hand in the conflict. Instead, he instructed his Jedi commanders from a small, secret bunker in a five-month long siege on Separatist forces on Saleucami inside the caldera rim. Plagued with logistical problems, the conflict was drawn out and Rancisis had to take on refugees from the city. In the middle of one such battle meditation a month before the end of the Clone Wars, Oppo was forced to fend off half a dozen Anzati assassins. Unfortunately, with his attention focused on the Anzati, he failed to notice that Sora Bulq had entered his control room, and he was stabbed through the back, killing the one-hundred and eightyfive year-old Jedi Master.

60 Plo Koon Jedi Master Plo Koon Plo Koon was a Kel Dor from the planet Dorin who came from a long line of Kel Dorian Force-users. Like all Kel Dor away from their home planet, Koon wore a black antiox mask in order to survive in oxygen rich environments. He excelled at Jedi powers dealing with perceptions and mental prowess at an early age due to his species naturally heightened senses. The Kel Dor was apprenticed to the former Jedi High Council member Tyvokka, and under the Wookiee s tutelage, Koon was shaped into a physically powerful Jedi. Plo Koon was also close friends with fellow apprentice Qui- Gon Jinn; both in their days in the Temple as well as afterward when both had been selected as Padawan Learners. Koon, like most Kel Dor, tended to see issues in terms of black and white right and wrong with little or no gray area in between. This mind set congealed well with Tyvokka s teachings, as Wookiees are inherently honor-bound. The two Jedi were beings of action more so than reflection. Tvyokka s patience with his student was only tested by Koon s sarcastic wit. Koon easily ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight. During his instrumental participation in the Stark Hyperspace War, his master Tyvokka was mortally wounded, and Tyvokka s dying wish was that Koon take his seat on the Jedi Council. Though Koon had been offered and refused the position several times previously, he acquiesced to the bitter-sweet progression and was granted the title of Jedi Master. During his career, he trained a Trandoshan Padawan named Lissarkh, and discovered the Force-sensitive infant Ahsoka Tano, who he trained for a short time before returning to the Jedi Temple, where she was placed in a youngling training clan. Koon later partook in a Jedi operation to suppress an uprising that occurred on the planet of Yinchorr, during which fellow Council member Micah Giiett was killed. In honor of his friend, Plo took Giiett s Padawan, Bultar Swan, as his own and completed her training. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Plo Koon was also among the group of six Jedi sent to Malastare to broker peace talks between the Lannik monarchy and the Red Iaro terrorist group. The talks were a ruse, but Koon was counted among the survivors of the skirmish. Jedi Master Plo Koon was on LucasFilm LTD. the Jedi Council when Anakin Skywalker was brought before the Jedi Council to be trained by his comrade, Qui-Gon Jinn. A decade later, the threat of war enveloped the galaxy. Koon was among the two-hundred and twelve Jedi sent to Geonosis. Koon was assigned to a boarding party with Ki-Adi Mundi to disable the battle droid control signal being broadcast on a nearby Trade Federation core ship. Though they succeeded in reaching the control system and deactivated the signal, they discovered the droids could function independently of the control computer s commands. Koon and Mundi were the only survivors of the boarding party, and were ferried to the Geonosian arena with the survivors of the failed attempt to save Kenobi. Koon survived the Jedi massacre, was rescued by Jedi Master Yoda and the newly-acquired army of clone troopers, and went on to become a High General in the Grand Army of the Republic. 60

61 61 Four months after the Clone Wars began; Plo Koon and Adi Gallia led a contingent of starfighters in an offensive against a group of pirates attempting to pillage a Republic convoy carrying Senator Bail Organa. Koon and Gallia, accompanied by Ki-Adi Mundi and his temporary Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, then began a campaign combating pirates in the Ison Corridor near Varonat. In the fifth month of the war, Koon s first major offensive of note occurred over Brentaal IV. Koon led forces there to reclaim the planet from the Separatists and retain access to the Perlemian Trade Route. Koon led an orbital-based assault, but after realizing he would be unable to penetrate their defensive screen, retreated to let the ground forces take out the planetary cannons and shields. Hours later, Koon s fleet returned to pummel defenseless Confederate forces into submission. In the war s seventh month, Plo Koon was sent to Rendili with Anakin Skywalker and Saesee Tiin to talk the planet out of joining the Confederacy. Plo Koon s mission was to convince Captain Jace Dallin, veteran of the Stark Hyperspace War, to side with the Republic instead of joining the Separatists. While Koon s negotiations were successful, Dallin s crew mutinied and Koon, Dallin and Dodonna were imprisoned. Helpess to affect the outcome of the pitched battle that ensued, Koon waited patiently for the opportunity to take back the Mersel Kebir, Dallin s flagship, from the mutineers. Shortly after the fighting began, Koon and his companions were rescued by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Together with his allies, Koon was able to restore Dallin s command and subdue the traitorous elements of the crew. When the Republic fleet began suffering major losses at the hands of the Separatists in the seventh month of the war, Republic Intelligence surmised that a new secret Confederate warship was the culprit. Plo Koon headed a task force to investigate the attacks. While onboard the Venator-class cruiser Triumphant, Koon and his men were hit by a surprise attack in the Abregado system by the Separatist Subjucator-class warship Malevolence. Using an experimental new ion cannon, the Separatists decimated Koon s entire task force. Koon, Captain Wolffe and two clone troopers managed to make it to an escape pod, but they were hunted by the Confederates, who used pod hunters to ensure that no survivors remained. As Koon s escape pod was being crushed by the pod hunter, he and his men were rescued by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. After another attack on a Republic fleet in the Outer Rim by the Malevolence, Plo Koon realized that the logical next target would be the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center. Eager to assist Skywalker, Plo participated in a risky maneuver taking a shortcut through the Balmorra Run, nesting ground to the Neebray manta. Koon and Skywalker managed to beat the Malevolence to the Medical Center and launch a daring counter-offensive. With half their squadron disabled by the Malevolence s ion cannon, Koon and Skywalker still managed to damage the Separatist weapon, causing a chain reaction that wreaked severe damage on the enemy warship. When Anakin and Obi-Wan boarded the Malevolence to rescue Senator Amidala, who was trapped onboard, Koon took command of Kenobi s Star Destroyers. When the trio was safely off of the Malevolence, Koon led the squadron of warships in the destruction of the enemy vessel. Near the end of the seventh month of the war, Plo Koon led many starfighter assaults in support of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. When Kenobi and Skywalker succeeded in evacuating the slaves from the Gwori Shipyards, Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin led a critical aerial campaign, bombing all of the Separatist shipyards. Days later, Koon flew air support for Anakin and Obi-Wan over Kadavo when the pair rescued the Togruta colonists of Kiros from the vile clutches of the Zygerrian slave processing center. Still waiting to be assigned a new fleet during the eighth month of the Clone Wars, Plo Koon accompanied Mace Windu to the palace of Ziro the Hutt on Coruscant. Koon hoped to learn the whereabouts of a Dathomir Nightsister named Ros Lai, who may have had information regarding the hijacking of a Jedi convoy ship that led to the theft of its Ilum crystal cargo and the disappearance of Luminara Unduli. The Jedi were able to gain entrance to Ziro s palace, but were ambushed by the Confederate assassin, Asajj Ventress. Koon and Windu were more than Ventress could handle, forcing her into retreat. Fortunately, Ros Lai had been seeking refuge in Ziro s palace and supplied Koon with datachips containing information on the Nightsisters dealings with the Confederacy.

62 Koon and Padawan Ahsoka Tano headed to Dathomir in hopes of discovering some additional information about Sai Sircu, the Nightsister fugitive responsible for the shipjacking and kidnapping. However, their arrival was met with aggression, and they were attacked by warriors of the Separatist-aligned Nightsister clan. In the exchange, a Nightsister telekinetically collapsed the ceiling of the cavern Koon and Tano had been exploring, trapping them. By the time the Jedi were able to free themselves, the Nightsisters had vanished. After being chased by a bull rancor, and another group of Nightsisters, Koon and Ahsoka managed to locate and free Master Luminara before regrouping with their clone troopers to head back to Coruscant. Ahsoka and Plo managed to intercept the gigantic Confederate warship Devastation, fitted with its experimental Force crystal-powered superweapon. Shortly after their arrival, they were confronted by Asajj Ventress. Teaming up, Ahsoka worked to disable the ship s power grid while Master Koon dealt with Ventress. Through the combined efforts of Master Koon, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kit Fisto, and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi were able to deflect the Confederate threat on Coruscant and destroy the Devastation. Two months following the crisis with the Devastation, Plo Koon was tasked with putting an end to a prison riot that had erupted on M bardi with fellow Council member Kit Fisto. Koon took the hard line, treating his combatants as evil beings and attempted to use any means necessary to put an end to the violence. However, his heavy-handed efforts were restrained by Master Fisto. Before long, Koon and Fisto discovered that Durge was behind the prison riot and the bounty hunter confronted the Jedi. Koon and his comrade were cut off from escape, granting Durge with seemingly uninterruptible time to dispense of the two Jedi Masters. Unexpectedly, a prisoner came to their aid, saving Plo Koon and Kit Fisto from a rocket volley that instead impacted the ceiling, providing the Jedi with an escape route. Fisto, Koon, and the helpful inmate made their way for the opening, but Durge would not relent. Using his tendril-like appendages, Durge reached for them through the hole, but Kit and Plo used the Force to seal the opening with a massive chunk of rock. The trio then made their escape. Koon spent a significant portion of the next two years assisting Republic fleets against the warships of the Confederacy on many fronts. Koon was stationed on the Republic battleship Intervention in the war s thirty-first month. The Kel Dor Jedi Master assisted in the battle plan and participated in the Battle of Boz Pity. Plo was then sent to Cato Neimoidia during the Outer Rim Sieges, where he conducted scouting missions flying patrols over the bridge cities of Cato Neimoidia after it had been claimed in battle by the Republic. During this mission, Order 66 was issued and Plo Koon was shot down in his Delta-7 Aethersprite by his ARC-170 wingman, Captain Jag, crashing into the city below. Plo Koon did not survive the fighter crash. Imperial reports claim Koon was killed in a suicide run on a Neimoidian grub nursery, which also killed approximately one-hundred and forty clone troopers.

Saesee Tiin 63 Saesee Tiin Saesee Tiin was an Iktotchi born on the moon of Iktotch. In his youth, Tiin grew to become a phenomenal pilot, hardened by Iktotch s harsh weather conditions. During this time, his aptitude with the Force was discovered and his gifts at the helm of a ship and with the Force grew to compliment each other. Though much older than normal for Jedi candidates, Saesee was sent to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi Knight. He was placed under the tutelage of Jedi Master Omo Bouri, and together they developed his Jedi powers, which complimented his piloting. Over the years, Bouri s devotion to the Jedi Order rubbed off on Tiin, instilling a stern loyalty in the Iktotchi. So powerful were his precognitive abilities that when melded with his prowess in the cockpit of a starfighter, he could plot hyperspace courses without the aid of a navicomputer. Shortly after Tiin s ascention to the rank of Jedi Knight, his former master was killed while on assignment. Saesee shared a LucasFilm LTD. special link with Omo Bouri and was deeply saddened by the loss of his mentor. Using his knowledge of premonition and telepathy, Tiin spent much of his time researching methods to commune with the spirit of his dead master. A rarity in the Jedi Order, Tiin was one of the Jedi to achieve the rank of Jedi Master without ever having trained a Padawan, instead promoted solely on the merits of his deep connection to the Force. It came as a surprise to no one that Tiin was later appointed a long-term seat on the Jedi High Council, lending his immense telepathic and precognitive

64 powers to the group. One of Tiin s unique roles within the Jedi Order was acting as a liaison for the Jedi and the paramilitary group Freedom s Sons and Daughters. When the Stark Hyperspace War began, Tiin was among the Jedi who served during the conflict. Master Tiin used his strong telepathic abilities to communicate to his fellow Jedi over vast distances to relay intelligence a feat once believed to be only theoretical. Tiin utilized his piloting abilities bring enemies of the Republic to justice time and time again. The Jedi Order continued to rely upon the Iktotchi fighter ace s unique talents during the Yinchorri uprising, where he saved Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn from certain death at the hands of the reptilian ambushers. After rescuing a group of Duros diplomats from a pirate attack, Tiin was awarded a SoroSuub Cutlass-9 Patrol Fighter he christened the Sharp Spiral. The matter of Tiin owning a starfighter, while unusual for the minimalist lifestyle of the Jedi, was largely overlooked, and he modified it drastically to compliment his abilities. At the stick of the Sharp Spiral, Tiin once single-handedly defeated three battle cruisers controlled by a renegade faction of Freedom s Sons and Daughters. Following the sieges on Naboo at the hands of the Trade Federation, Darth Maul s interceptor was impounded by the Republic and became a subject of interest to the Iktotchi Jedi Master. Years later, Tiin was approached by Kuat Systems Engineering when the company had developed a new starfighter. He test piloted the KSE Delta-7 Aethersprite, dubbed the Jedi Starfighter, with fellow Council member Adi Gallia, and Jedi Padawan Aayla Secura. When conflict at Geonosis sparked the beginning of the Clone Wars, Saesee Tiin s array of skills was called into play when he traveled to Geonosis in a valiant rescue mission to save Obi-Wan Kenobi and put an end to the Separatist threat. When Master Yoda arrived with the Grand Army of the Republic, Tiin boarded an LAAT/i gunship and was taken to the staging area where he piloted his Sharp Spiral to orbit and engaged in the conflict raging above Geonosis with the likes of Adi Gallia, Bant Eerin and Siri Tachi. In a rare occurance, Tiin was shot down, and forced to make a low-altitude ejection. He sustained some minor injuries, including a broken horn that took several months to grow back. When young Jedi and accomplished pilot Anakin Skywalker began to construct his own customized Jedi Starfighter, Tiin, unlike the rest of the Jedi Council, embraced and encouraged it. The boy possessed piloting skills and insight that surpassed even his own, and Saesee admired Skywalker s ideas and modifications to the Delta-7, so much so that he recommended most of Skywalker s changes to be utilized in the design and production of future generations of Jedi starfighters the Delta-7B and Actis-2 Interceptor. When they began seeing active duty, Tiin was among the first to be outfitted. In the fourth month of the war, the storm of the Clone Wars swept over Tiin s home planet of Iktotch. Tiin quickly made his way back to the moon in order to fight the Separatists. He and Jedi Master Mace Windu worked to thwart the Confederacy s plan at creating an army of Ultra Battle Droids. The two Jedi faced off against a prototype ultra battle droid and through their combined efforts, were able to defeat the gigantic war machine. In that same month, Tiin commanded a fleet defending the planet of Nadiem with B dard Tone. They successfully repelled the Separatist fighter screen led by General Grievous from the ground battle, allowing Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee the time they needed to evacuate civilians. Later, in the war s sixth month, Saesee Tiin teamed up with Mace Windu once again, along with Masters Agen Kolar and Kit Fisto. Their mission took them to a compound known as the Rig, where bounties from the Crimson Nova Bounty Hunter s Guild had been originating on prominent figures in the Jedi Order and the Republic. While Agen Kolar and Kit Fisto posed as a bounty hunter and his prey, Tiin s cover story identified him as a smuggler. He relaxed in the resident cantina to wait for an offer on the goods he was carrying. The cargo was stolen from his ship by members of the bounty hunter s guild that ran the Rig, which was exactly what Saesee had hoped for. In reality the cargo crates were filled with armed explosive devices. Tiin detonated the explosives, creating a diversion big enough to allow him to reunite with his fellow Jedi and take complete control of the entire space station, eliminating the leaders of the Crimson Nova Guild. Tiin s next mission took him to the planet Rendili with Anakin Skywalker and Plo Koon in the seventh month of the Clone Wars, where he headed the operation to prevent the Rendili Defense 64

65 65 Fleet from falling into Separatist control no matter the cost. Captain Dodonna and Plo Koon were taken prisoner during negotiations onboard the flagship of the Rendili fleet when it s crew mutinied. When Separatists arrived in the system to support the rogue fleet, Saesee ordered his naval commander, Adar Tallon, to send the warships Triumph, Doneeta and the Republic flagship Sundiver to attack the Separatists at point blank range to prevent them from escaping into hyperspace. Tiin then led the starfighter group into battle, commanding the fleet from his Jedi starfighter. Skywalker prevented the ships from entering hyperspace in a daring maneuver that saw the flagship s engines disabled while Republic forces boarded and reclaimed the ship. Later that month, Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon escorted Hunter Squadron on a bombing run of a shipyard on the planet of Gwori. With the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, the Republic was able to clear the slave laborers from the Confederate shipyard, allowing Koon and Tiin to safely knock out the base s defense cannons. The Y-Wing squadron then pelted the Banking Clan s warship construction facility with proton bombs. During the eleventh month of the war, Saesee Tiin was assigned to steal a prototype Confederate starfighter on the blizzardwracked world of Diado. Tiin opted for an unorthodox method of infiltrating the development facility. Tiin went to a local tavern and picked a fight with a gang leader named Birok, who was in league with the Separatists. After soundly defeating the swoop gang and befriending a local thief named Na-Jia, the Confederacy responded as Tiin had hoped, with a legion of snow droids to whom he surrendered. Inside the secret facility in a holding cell, Tiin was quickly able to escape with Na-Jia s assistance. It was then a simple matter for him to steal the experimental fighter and fly back to Republic space. Five months before the close of the war, Saesee Tiin was assigned to escort Senator Bail Organa on a survey of the war efforts in the Outer Rim. During this mission, the task force was alerted of a high probability that the current Separatist headquarters was hidden on Boz Pity and both Count Dooku and General Grievous were present. Tiin headed a recon mission to gather intelligence and quickly uncovered a massive Separatist armada orbiting Boz Pity. After a daring hyperspace jump performed by Skywalker put the Intervention on an irreversible crash course, Tiin and his squadrons launched from the dying ship to flank the Separatist armada. When the battle concluded, Tiin was sent back to Coruscant and was given commission of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Impavid. In the final month of the Clone Wars, during the second Battle of Coruscant, Tiin piloted his Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter as the leader of Green Squadron, defending against the first wave of attacks. When news of the Chancellor s capture rang out, Tiin accompanied Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Pablo-Jill in a last ditch attempt to rescue the Chancellor from Grievous shuttle. When the shuttle proved too formidable, Tiin, Fisto and Kolar broke away to lead other aspects of the battle to prevent the capital from falling. During the battle, the Impavid was struck by a Separatist warship dropping out of hyperspace, and her crew was forced to scuttle the ship. Tiin returned to the Impavid and commanded his clone troopers on an EVA boarding action against the Separatist cruiser Prosperous. Tiin and his men, already onboard the Separatist craft, managed to commandeer the enemy Providence-class cruiser and helped turn the tide of the fight. When the true identity of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was discovered to be the Sith Master Darth Sidious, Tiin accompanied Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto and Mace Windu to the Chancellor s office to place him under arrest. When they arrived, the Sith Lord was waiting patiently. When the Jedi drew their lightsabers and pronounced their intentions to arrest the Chancellor, he leapt into battle, taking the Jedi by surprise. Saesee Tiin was the second to fall to Darth Sidious blade during the confrontation.

Shaak Ti Shaak Ti, the alluring Togruta Jedi Master, was one of the twelve members on the Jedi Council during the final years of the Republic. Shaak Ti was more proficient at working alone and this was apparent in the fact that both of Shaak Ti s previous Padawans were brutally slain shortly after becoming Jedi Knights. Her training methods were considered unorthodox and other Jedi saw her instructional abilities as poor. Due to these points, the Jedi Council was reluctant to assign her another apprentice. However, Shaak Ti certainly regretted the loss of her students. Her nature and her view of the Jedi teachings simply prohibited her from showing any real emotion on the matter. Despite her seemingly loathsome outlook on displays of outward emotion, Shaak Ti was not without a sense of humor though it was often misunderstood. When her subtle humor came through and she flashed a grin, it was often mistaken as a sign of aggression. Shaak Ti was well aware of this, however. That, coupled with rumors that her species was venomous, which she made no attempt to neither confirm nor deny, made Shaak Ti quite proficient at aggressive negotiations. Four years before the Clone Wars began, Shaak Ti accepted a long-term seat on the Jedi High Council following the death of Yaddle on Mawan. Shaak Ti was among the two-hundred and twelve Jedi to travel to Geonosis and was one of the few to survive the skirmish. At that epic battle, which served as the opening to the Clone Wars, Shaak Ti was given a general s commission and took command of one of five battlefronts in the skirmish line against the Confederacy. Shortly thereafter, in the second month of the war, Ti was stationed on Kamino in Tipoca City to oversee the surface s defense and act as wartime attaché to Prime Minister Lama Su. It was Ti that convinced the Prime Minister to release the abandoned ARC troopers from their stasis tubes to help defend their birthworld. With the help of ARC trooper A-17, Shaak Ti, General Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Commander Anakin Skywalker, were able to defend the third generation of clone troopers still in the incubation stages of development. Shak Ti was able to convince A-17 not to follow through on protocol and destroy the third generation of clones, insisting the Jedi could protect them from the Separatist assault. In concert with Kenobi and 66

67 67 Shaak Ti LucasFilm LTD. Skywalker, Shaak Ti flooded the entrance to the cloning facility effectively sealing off the approaching onslaught of battle droids from the incubation chambers, while Lama Su and the bulk of clone trooper forces evacuated the children of the second clone trooper generation. Two months after the Battle of Kamino, Shaak Ti was sent to Hypori, attached to a task force led by Master Ki-Adi Mundi. The Separatists laid a trap for the incoming Republic forces and the entire fleet smashed into a minefield surrounding the planet. Most ships were destroyed upon reversion, but the command ship carrying Shaak Ti and the other Jedi survived long enough to crash-land on the planet s surface. There, Shaak Ti and her companions were threatened by thousands of battle droids led by the newly-promoted General Grievous, who managed to kill many of the Jedi. Shaak Ti was badly wounded, but was saved by an ARC trooper Search and Rescue team sent by General Kenobi from Muunilist. When she recovered nearly a month later, Shaak Ti was sent to Brentaal IV to reclaim the key hyperspace crossroads from the Separatists. With her army nearly wiped out, Shaak Ti attempted to take refuge in a nearby prison fortress, where she quickly found herself in the middle of an inmate revolt. During the chaos, Shaak Ti stumbled upon Lyshaa the Zeltron responsible for the murder of Ti s second apprentice, Fe Sun. Lyshaa had escaped from her cell along with several other inmates and attacked the prison guards. Amidst the rioting, Shaak Ti stumbled upon an imprisoned Quinlan Vos and freed him. Shaak Ti offered to work with Lyshaa in order to survive long enough for Shaak Ti to infiltrate Shogar Tok s fortress and disable its defenses. The rag-tag bunch of Jedi and prisoners entered Tok s citadel through the sewers before splitting up into three teams, each focused on a different method of giving the Republic the upper hand in battle. Shaak Ti and Lyshaa attempted to apprehend the Confederate Commander Shogar Tok himself, though when they finally reached him, Ti was betrayed by Lyshaa, who shot her and attempted to join forces with the enemy commander. Ti was down, but not out, and engaged Tok in a furious duel, lightsaber against vibroaxe. Ti slew the hulking human before turning her attentions to Lyshaa, who was convinced the Jedi was only counting the seconds before exacting revenge for the murder of Fe Sun. While Ti had no such intentions, she did little to dissuade the Zeltron murderess, who needlessly committed suicide in a lightstorm chamber, convinced she was denying Ti her revenge. The Battle of Brentaal IV was won, and Shaak Ti returned to Coruscant, where she spent several days recuperating in a bacta tank, followed by days of recovery spent meditating with Master Plo Koon. Shaak Ti was then sent to Centares ten months into the war, home to one of the Republic s Galactic Museums, to assist in the defense of the planet from Separatist forces. Ti was captured by the Separatists and brought to the swamp planet of Dagu where the Confederacy had used prisoners of war as slave laborers to

68 construct a new base. Shaak Ti helped stage a revolt on the planet and managed to escape Dagu. Upon her return to Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine officially and publicly commended Shaak Ti for her efforts on Centares, Dagu and Geonosis in a ceremony where Palpatine bestowed a gift of a grove of Ch hala trees to Shaak Ti, which she immediately donated to the Jedi Temple. One month later, Shaak Ti was captured by the Confederacy and taken to the prison facility on Metalorn. Senator Bail Organa arrived to assist and gained access to plant a lightsaber near Shaak Ti s cell. Seizing the opportunity, she retrieved the weapon and focused her efforts on protecting the Senator while battling their way to safety. Captain Antilles swooped down in a transport to pick up the duo and made it back to the safety of the Republic fleet. In the final days of the war, Shaak Ti assisted Generals Kenobi, Windu and Skywalker in an effort to track down the location of a strange transceiver similar to the one installed into Darth Maul s Sith Infiltrator. The trail led them to an industrial area on Coruscant known as The Works, where Shaak Ti and Mace Windu uncovered a building that served as the training complex for both Darth Maul and Tyranus. The investigation was cut short, however, as the Confederacy conducted an all-out assault on Coruscant. During the Battle of Coruscant, Shaak Ti, with the help of Roron Corrob and Foul Moudama, put forth a valiant effort to protect Chancellor Palpatine from the evil clutches of General Grievous. Shaak Ti fended off several squads of Grievous highly trained MagnaGuards through the skyways of Coruscant. She and her companions made a stand at the maglev station where Shaak Ti managed to outwit the Kalee general himself. After shaking off their pursuers, Shaak Ti led the Chancellor to the secure bunker where he could ride out the conflict. Her efforts to protect the Chancellor ultimately proved futile, however, as Grievous headed them off and ambushed them inside the bunker once the doors were sealed and they were unable to make an easy escape. Corrob and Moudama were struck down by the droid general and Shaak Ti was bested. She was left alive to deliver the gloating message to the Jedi that Grievous alone had captured the Chancellor. Still recovering from her wounds from her battle with Grievous, Shaak Ti was present at the Jedi Temple when Skywalker brought news that the Chancellor was indeed the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Shaak Ti was put in charge of security when Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tinn left to detain the Sith Lord. When she encountered Anakin Skywalker attempting to leave the temple to follow them, she sensed a deep sickening in his heart and attempted to intervene offering healing to the young Jedi. Skywalker refused and sped away, only to return hours later transformed. As Shaak Ti meditated in her quarters, Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader, stormed the Jedi Temple with a legion of clone troopers, hell-bent on exterminating the Jedi. She rallied the temple s defenses but it was hopeless and the Jedi Temple was overwhelmed. After ensuring the safety of a group of Jedi, Shaak Ti made her escape. She was intercepted by Darth Vader, but managed to slip past the Sith apprentice and flee Coruscant. Shaak Ti escaped to the fungus-covered world of Felucia. During her new life in seclusion, Shaak Ti secretly traveled the galaxy looking for other Jedi survivors. She discovered a young Zabrak Padawan named Maris Brood and took her back to Felucia to train. She sensed Brood s deep-seeded hatred for the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader and had hoped to help the Padawan deal with those issues and prevent her fall to the Dark Side. Shaak Ti established a shared respect with the native Felucians and taught their shamans Jedi techniques in an effort to keep the barbaric tribes from traveling down the Dark Path. Her presence counteracted the ambient Dark Side aura that enveloped much of Felucia, masking her location from the Emperor and Lord Vader. Sixteen years after the Declaration of the New Order, Darth Vader discovered Shaak Ti s whereabouts and sent his secret apprentice, codenamed Starkiller, to assassinate the Togruta Jedi Master. Spotting the approach of Starkiller s ship and sensing his presence, Shaak Ti ordered her Padawan into hiding, intent on facing the threat alone. Shaak Ti made her last stand at the Ancient Abyss an enormous Sarlacc living in the fungus jungle. Starkiller emerged the victor, however, and Shaak Ti was mortally wounded. With her dying breath, she attempted to sway Starkiller away from the Dark Side, claiming that he could be so much more, and warning him that the Sith are destined to eternally betray one another. As she died, she slipped into the Ancient Abyss. With her death, Felucia quickly reverted to its chaotic state, steeped in the Dark Side of the Force. 68

Stass Allie Stass Allie was a Jedi Master during the Clone Wars, cousin to Jedi Council member Adi Gallia. Like her cousin, Allie shared a very similar physical appearance and adorned the Corellian Tholoth headdress of organic tentacles. Before the Clone Wars began, she had only achieved the rank of Jedi Knight, but was among the many Jedi Knights promoted to Master during the war. Stass Allie was a skilled warrior having mastered the Jedi lightsaber form of Shii-cho. She was also a member of the Circle of Jedi Healers. Many Jedi studied under her, such as fellow healer Barriss Offee. Weeks before the Clone Wars began, Allie was assigned to a mission on the Arcona home world of Cona with Jedi Knight Tassida Judrelle. Together they were responsible for the collapse of the Lojrak Shrag salt cartel s smuggling ring. When the Clone Wars started, Allie worked in an advisory capacity to the Supreme Chancellor s office. She also saw her fair share of battles in the early half of the war. Five months before the Clone Wars ended, Allie was again promoted this time to a short-term seat on the Jedi Council when her cousin Adi Gallia was killed by General Grievous. She was stationed on Coruscant and tasked with the duty of protecting Supreme Chancellor Palpatine with Jedi Master Shaak Ti, Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama a post she held when General Grievous laid siege to the Republic capital. In the midst of chaos, Allie was separated from her fellow Jedi. While she was unable to assist her peers in protecting the Chancellor, she and her unit of clone troopers oversaw the evacuation of key Republic senators such as Bail Organa of Alderaan and Padmé Amidala of Naboo to their respective shelters. During the siege Stass Allie intervened and saved Padawan Drake Lo ogan from Grievous deadly bodyguards. Stass Allie volunteered to escort the Padawan Drake to his reassignment on

She then traveled to Saleucami in the Outer Rim to assist in clean-up operations following a successful campaign there. It was on Saleucami that she met her end when Palpatine issued Order 66 and her clone troopers gunned her speeder down during a routine patrol. The official Imperial report stated Allie was killed while being pursued to a terrorist rendezvous.

71 71 Yoda A Jedi Master since he was one hundred years old, Yoda s origins and even the species to which he belongs remained a mystery. Despite his meager size and extremely old age, Yoda was a livinglegend within the Jedi Order. He was renowned as one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy had ever known excelling at prophetic visions, telekinetic movement, and a master of the difficult-toperfect Ataru lightsaber combat form. During much of his eight hundred years as a member of the Jedi Order, he was an instructor to clans of youngling Jedi in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Over the course of his Jedi career, Yoda helped train hundreds of Jedi Knights including the likes of Ki-Adi Mundi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even the fallen Count Dooku. Most Jedi younglings were placed under his tutelage for a variety of classes during their early years. Yoda was capable of guiding his students to grow both mentally and physically strong in the ways of the Jedi Order. Some three hundred years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Yoda was sent on a diplomatic mission to negotiate the release of the crew of the Chu Unthor. The legendary Jedi ship had crashlanded on the world of Dathomir and its survivors were in the custody of the Witches of Dathomir. Although he was unable to convince the inhabitants to allow the Jedi to excavate the wreckage of the massive Jedi craft or to retrieve its archives, he was able to reach a settlement that enabled the survivors of the crash to be released. Yoda also served as Jedi Watchman to the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk and the surrounding systems prior to the Clone Wars, but his duties to the Jedi Council consumed much of his time and he relinquished the task of Jedi Watchmen to Jedi Master Kai Justiss. With the Republic on the brink of being fractured for the first time in over a thousand years, Yoda provided counsel to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Yoda was one of the first Jedi to become aware of the Dark Side s presence influencing the Separatist crisis. When the Jedi discovered that the Separatists were gearing for war, Yoda traveled to Kamino in order to collect the clone army discovered by Kenobi, while Mace Windu gathered over two-hundred Jedi Knights to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists, hoping to prevent the uprising before it erupted into war. Unfortunately, the situation escalated to open warfare and the Clone Wars began in earnest. Yoda arrived at Geonosis with an entire army of clone troopers in tow and the Separatists were taken completely off guard. Onboard the forward command center, Yoda commanded the troops to a solid victory for the Republic. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Yoda hurried to Dooku s hangar bay, arriving just as Kenobi and Skywalker were defeated by the renegade Jedi. Yoda proved Dooku s better at lightsaber combat, but Yoda s quarry escaped after cleverly dropping a large pillar on the wounded Kenobi and Skywalker, forcing Yoda to step in to save them. With the Clone Wars in progress and the Jedi serving as commanders to the clone army, Yoda assumed the role of overseer to the entire Grand Army. Between his duties as High- General and Council member, Yoda expressed his disapproval of the current situation to Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Tholme. He was concerned that the Jedi would lose their identity and traditions to the war. All the while, Yoda took whatever time he could to go into a meditative contemplation on the Force, hoping to discover the true nature of the threat the Republic faced. During the fourth month of the war, Yoda was dispatched to Axion to reinforce a military effort that had suffered heavy losses. Yoda used his gift of foresight and wit to rescue Training Sergeant Brolis, whom the Separatists were trying to capture for interrogation. Yoda and the injured sergeant were pitted against several squads of battle droids and a Hailfire tank droid. After a brief exchange, the battle droids were destroyed and Yoda engaged the tank in a duel of sorts. When the engagement seemed to reach a stalemate, Yoda carried the instructor through a passageway, and coaxed the droid tank into a trap where he was able to collapse the ceiling on the tank droid, allowing the pair to make it to safety. While en route to Coruscant from Axion with Senator Amidala, Yoda received a cry for help through the Force from Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee. Yoda convinced Amidala and her bodyguard Captain Typho to divert to the planet

72 of Illum to lend assistance. Upon their arrival on the ice-world, Yoda was met by dozens of cloaked Separatist chameleon droids. Yoda dispatched his welcoming party effortlessly and drudged on to the sacred crystal cave. Once inside, he used his considerable powers of telekinetic manipulation to retrieve the endangered Jedi from thousands of tons of rubble of what was previously the Jedi s temple. Yoda accompanied Luminara and Barriss back to Coruscant where they could recuperate from their injuries. In the sixth month of the war, Yoda traveled to Thustra after a suicide bombing killed several Jedi Masters and a pair of orphaned Padawans sent a distress call to Coruscant. The ruler of Thustra, King Alaric, was an old friend of Yoda s and agreed to a temporary cease-fire so that the two could meet and attempt to settle the situation with diplomacy rather than war. When the peace talks reached an impasse, the King took Yoda and the headstrong Padawan Cal into custody to prevent them from launching an assault on his palace. While imprisoned, Yoda advised the impsulive Padawan Cal on the merits of diplomatic resolutions over violence. When the Jedi were confronted by members of the Thursta guard, Padawan Cal failed to heed Yoda s advice and met force with force and was mortally wounded in the exchange. Though Yoda tried to help ease his pain as he lay dying, Cal cursed the Jedi Master for his pacifistic ways. Yoda was blamed for the Republic s offensive maneuver on the castle that followed, which resulted in the Republic taking advantage of a weakness in the castle s defenses, slaughtering many of the King s men. King Alaric attacked Yoda with a blaster, forcing the Jedi Master to defend himself, and the deflected blaster bolt killed the king, martyring him to the Sephi cause. King Alaric s death brought the support of surrounding systems to Thustra and Yoda was forced into retreat, losing the entire sector to the Confederacy. In the following month, Yoda was sent to Rugosa to negotiate the placement of a Republic military base on Toydaria with the world s monarch, King Katuunko. Yoda arrived and his convoy was promptly ambushed by the Confederacy. The Jedi Master and his escorts were stranded on the surface when the Republic cruiser was forced to retreat. Yoda and his men fought a contingent of battle droids and tanks. Acting on a bet with King Katuunko that he could best the Confederate forces even though heavily outnumbered, low on supplies, and tending to wounded, Yoda LucasFilm LTD. Jedi Master Yoda and the three clone troopers made a stand against the enemy droids. The enigmatic Jedi Master faced off against a line of Trade Federation tanks and several squads of battle droids in a staggering display of combat prowess as his troops supported him from a distance. Impressed by Yoda s skill, Katuunko rejected the Confederacy s offer and Ventress tried to assassinate him for his choice, but Yoda intervened. Handily outmatched by Master Yoda, Ventress fled. Without discussion, Katuunko granted Yoda s bravery and skill with an agreement to allow the Republic to install a base on Toydaria, at the edges of Hutt Space. Nine months after the start of the Clone Wars, Master Yoda led the Republic fleet at Kothlis before returning to his post on Coruscant as primary overseer to the war effort. Yoda s foresight and wisdom were invaluable assets to the Republic during the 72
